Arthur A. Benjamin Health Professions High School is in the Sacramento City Unified School District.

Art Benjamin HPHS is an incredible school – offering a rigorous career and college preparatory education using healthcare as a theme. This is the school to attend if you want to investigate medicine or healthcare – or if you already know you want to be a doctor, nurse or vet.

The HPHS is open to all students. Essentially the school provides a very high quality education to students of all interests. Health systems and hospitals have thousands of position descriptions for future careers – we will work to place our students in job shadows, then internships that are of high interest to individual students.

Students learn in an extremely supportive environment that blends positive relationships with adults, a solid academic foundation and community centered learning.
