Robinson High School Launches New Veterinary Sciences Program

TAMPA, FL—Amanda Perez, a dedicated educator with over 19 years of experience, is spearheading the launch of a new Veterinary Sciences program at Robinson High School. To make this initiative a success, Ms. Perez is reaching out to the community for support as the program is currently half funded and must secure full funding by September 4th.

In a heartfelt message posted on social media, Ms. Perez expressed her gratitude to the community for their previous support, stating, “Thank you to my neighbors and friends! Our DonorsChoose was FULLY funded to get our starter cages/tanks and some animal supplies.” However, she emphasized that more resources are needed to enhance the student learning experience.

To further support the program, Ms. Perez has created an Amazon Wish List featuring various educational supplies and equipment that will help students gain hands-on experience in animal health care. The goal of the program is to prepare students for future careers in veterinary medicine and to foster a sense of community involvement as they learn to care for animals.

“Hello neighbors, my name is Mrs. Perez. My students and I are working to build a new Veterinary Sciences program at the school,” she explained. “This initiative is a significant step towards enriching our educational offerings and providing our students with hands-on experience in animal health care so that they can give back to our community down the road.”

The Amazon Wish List can be found at [this link](https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/1K1RN0X38POSN?ref_=wl_share&fbclid...), where community members can contribute items to enhance the program.

As Robinson High School celebrates its recent achievement of earning an "A" rating from the Florida Department of Education for the third consecutive year, the Veterinary Sciences program aims to continue this legacy of excellence by providing students with the skills necessary to excel in animal care and service.
