The seventh annual Biomedical Sciences White Coat Ceremony was held on Thursday, Jan. 12, in the Pattonville High School main gym to recognize students who have successfully completed coursework in Pattonville's nationally certified biomedical sciences program.
Students enrolled in the third year of the program were presented with a white coat and recited the Hippocratic oath before family, friends and colleagues. Due to physical distancing needs, only students receiving their white coats were recognized in-person.
Those students are Macy Avery, Corina Baker, Nicole Cobbs, Marlaina Corson, Josiah McCall, Paul Palermo, Yashika Raja, Clare Ridings, Aryan Sankpal and Muneer Sarrar. They are taught by high school biomedical sciences teachers Jamie Jobe and Megan Kemper.
Each month during the school year, the Pattonville Board of Education honors students, staff and volunteers who have gained recognition outside of the district or who’ve made a special contribution to Pattonville. Learn more about students and staff who were recognized in January.
