 In 2013, Grafton High School added a biomedical science course to the curriculum for the first time. A second course was added in the fall of 2014, and a third course will be added this fall. The Grafton High School curriculum is one of a few high school biomedical curriculums in this area that is certified by Project Lead the Way (PLTW).
