February is Career & Technical Education Month! We're celebrating the exciting CTE opportunities that Spuds can experience at the MHS Career Academy. Next up is Health Sciences:
The Health Sciences department at the Moorhead Career Academy offers a fast-track into the high-demand world of healthcare. Led by Traci Tarnasky, the program provides students with rigorous, hands-on training and the opportunity to earn a CNA (Certified Nursing Assistant) certification, bridging the gap between high school and a professional medical career.
We are proud to highlight our collaborative EMR (Emergency Medical Responder) program, taught by Trista Berg in a strategic partnership with Sanford Health and M State. This unique collaboration ensures students receive industry-standard instruction and valuable networking within the regional medical community.
Looking ahead, we are excited to expand our offerings for the 2026-27 school year with the addition of: Sports Medicine I and Medical Terminology
Our department is also home to HOSA – Future Health Professionals. This CTSO was a new addition to the district in the 24-25 school year, providing students with leadership opportunities and a chance to compete in medical-themed events at the state and national levels.

MAPS is looking for substitutes in a variety of roles! Great with kids and looking for some extra money? Want a new challenge for the new year? Become a substitute in one of our buildings!

February is Career & Technical Education Month! We're celebrating the exciting CTE opportunities that Spuds can experience at the MHS Career Academy. Next up is The Family and Consumer Sciences:

The Family and Consumer Sciences (FACS) department at Moorhead High School provides students with essential life skills and hands-on career exploration. Our team of expert educators includes Katie Boer, Johanna Heigaard, Alison Johnson, Alisha MacDonald, and LaRae Rosenfeldt.

Our curriculum is designed for real-world application, offering courses in Food Basics, Child Development, Interior Design, and a robust Culinary track. In our culinary courses, students have the valuable opportunity to earn their ServSafe credential, an industry-recognized certification that jumpstarts their professional careers.
A standout feature of our program is the Child Development II (Working with Children) course, where students collaborate directly with the Jumpstart (4-year-old) classroom housed right here in the Career Academy. Beyond the classroom, our department is home to FCCLA (Family, Career and Community Leaders of America), a leadership-focused CTSO that was newly introduced to the district in the 2024-25 school year.
