In their Medical Science 1 class, teacher Melissa Rice introduces the Anatomage Table to sophomore Allison Derk, as well as juniors Emma McIntosh and Cross Porretta. A new addition to the medical lab, the table will be used as a learning tool in the academy. “The Anatomage Table is an exciting thing,” Rice said. “There’s no other way high school students could be exposed to something like this. I can talk all day about how the heart beats and how the muscles work, but if I can show students and they can see it, it really helps make those connections a little more real.”
