Program Information
Copley-Fairlawn High School
Animal Care & Veterinary Science is focused on preparing students for jobs in the Animal Health Care field. Students will work with mostly small animals that would be typical patients at local veterinary hospitals, grooming facilities, or visitors to pet retail stores. As in many of our Compact programs, students who want to branch off to other areas (maybe working with horses, other large animals, or exotic animals) will have some opportunities of this nature as well. The program will feature a "doggie daycare" and a "dog wash" facility so that students will get the experience of working with multiple animals and serving customers. The program has a solid network of local businesses that will help provide guest speakers, field trip opportunities, and possible internships or entry-level jobs.
