Officials from Aegis Sciences Corporation, McGavock High School and the Academies of Nashville gathered Friday, August 22, at 9:00 a.m. to celebrate the official naming of the Aegis Sciences Corporation Academy of Health Science and Law.
The Aegis leadership team has been involved with the Academies of Nashville since the program’s early development. Out of a desire to be good corporate citizens and support youth education in science and technology, they formed a partnership with their neighbors at McGavock High School. Throughout this partnership, Aegis has hosted numerous job shadowing days, speakers at the school, hosted Laboratory Boot Camp and helped develop curriculum for the Academy of Health Science and Law.
