While many students are getting ready for prom season, 52 11th grade students from the Edward M. Kennedy Academy for Health Careers are stepping into healthcare careers as newly Certified Nursing Assistants (CNA) after achieving a 100% pass rate on this year’s certification exam.

At yesterday's pinning ceremony at Old South Church, students took the Nightingale Pledge and were formally welcomed into the profession alongside Mass General Brigham nursing leaders. The ceremony also recognized several 12th grade students who repeated the course this year and successfully earned their certification.
