HUNTSVILLE, Ala. (WHNT) — The Alabama School of Healthcare Sciences says parents and students in Huntsville will soon get a chance for a preview of what the school has to offer.

The new specialty public high school has announced plans to hold one of its statewide informational meetings from 5:30 to 7 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 23, in the Dowdle Center Auditorium of Huntsville Hospital, 109 Governors Dr., Huntsville.

The school said the event is meant to give parents, students and members of the community a look at the state’s fourth specialty high school, which is set to open in Fall 2026. The meeting will include presentations on the school’s vision, curriculum and unique opportunities offered to students living on campus.

The school said attendees will also be able to learn about the school’s admission process and be able to ask school leadership direct questions.

“This school is a golden opportunity for Alabama,” said Dr. Jimmy Martin, President of ASHS. “We’re looking for students who want to be pioneers – young people ready to challenge themselves academically, grow in character, and prepare for careers that will change healthcare in Alabama and beyond.”

ASHS is the first state-funded specialty school in Alabama to focus on healthcare sciences. The school said students will complete their required core curriculum while also attending specialized healthcare classes and gaining hands-on experience with clinical and community partners. The idea is for the students to earn both college credit and an industry-recognized certification before graduation.

Governor Kay Ivey broke ground on the school’s campus last week in Demopolis, Alabama.
