Barrack Medical/Healthcare Network
Consisting of Barrack alumni, parents, and community members, the Medical/Healthcare Network is dedicated to creating networking and professional development opportunities for members along with providing guidance and support for students interested in pursuing medical and healthcare-related careers.
Using the expertise of our Barrack community, the Medical/Healthcare Network works to bring speakers in the medical/healthcare fields to campus, help place students in internships and service learning, and mentors students as they pursue a college major and a future career in the medical field.
The Barrack Medical/Healthcare Network also raises money to support the school in related activities and facilities improvements including updating and providing new equipment for the middle and upper schools science labs, providing mental health awareness and education programs, and hosting guest speaker series on issues around adolescence for parents of middle school students and parents.
