Student Spotlight:
Jackie Hurst
Each week the Scecina Student Spotlight introduces the Crusader Community to a current Scecina student.
Like many other juniors, Jackie Hurst has her sights set on college and beyond. Taking full advantage of Scecina's unique Biomedical Sciences program, Jackie is preparing for a future in medicine. She has narrowed down her college choices to Indiana University-Purdue University at Indianapolis, Northwestern or Loyola and plans to major in pre-medicine. She then plans to pursue her medical degree at Johns Hopkins University.
