Imagine learning about ultrasound technology and then getting to practice using it alongside Mayo Clinic medical professionals! That's exactly the kind of opportunity our Century students are experiencing through the Mayo Clinic Family Medicine Mentorship Program.
During our most recent visit, students received an introduction to ultrasound and its role in patient care before rotating through three hands-on stations. They explored how ultrasound is used on different parts of the body and even had the opportunity to practice using the equipment on volunteer patients.
Experiences like this bring healthcare careers to life in ways a classroom simply cannot. Students are building relationships, asking questions, gaining hands-on experience, and getting an authentic look at what a future in medicine could hold.
We are especially grateful for our growing partnership with Mayo Clinic's Family Medicine Department. Their willingness to share their expertise, open their doors, and invest in our students is making a tremendous impact and creating opportunities that are truly unique.
A huge thank-you to Brad Bohn, MD, Parivash Badar, MD, and Michael Ames, CNP, for leading the hands-on stations, and to Steve Bruce, MD, and Greg Garrison, MD, for coordinating this outstanding mentorship opportunity!
This is career-connected learning at its best!

One of the things that makes our Unified Club so special is having students who truly care about making sure everyone belongs. Century junior, Harper Milnes', leadership in Unifed at Century goes beyond our school, as she has also been chosen as a Board of Directors Student Leader for Minnesota Unified. She will have the opportunity to make a difference not only at our school but also across the state! She is always thinking about how to bring people together, make others feel included, and continues to provide opportunities to build a more inclusive community at Century High School.
Century High School is lucky to have her and others leading the way. Showing us what inclusion, kindness and belonging looks like in action!
It's a great day to be Unified!
Six Years of Opening Doors Through Mentorship!
What happens when a high school and one of the world's leading healthcare organizations come together to invest in students? For Century High School and Mayo Clinic, it has meant six years of building relationships, exploring possibilities, and helping students see a future they may not have otherwise imagined.
The Mayo Clinic Science Bound Scholars Mentorship Program is built around something pretty simple but incredibly powerful: relationships. Students enter the program as sophomores and are paired with a Mayo Clinic mentor who walks alongside them throughout their three years of high school. Along the way, they have opportunities to ask questions, explore interests, learn about different healthcare professions, and get a firsthand look at what working in the medical field really involves.
Our partnership with Mayo Clinic's Pulmonary Medicine Department has been a tremendous experience. From department tours and multidisciplinary career panels to hands-on learning and individual conversations with professionals, Mayo mentors consistently find ways to bring learning to life for our students.
We owe a HUGE thank-you to Dr. Hector Cajigas and Dr. Erin DeMartino for their leadership and commitment, as well as the many Pulmonary Medicine mentors who give their time, energy, and expertise to make this program possible.
At Century, we talk a lot about connecting classroom learning to real-world experiences. This partnership is what that looks like in action. It isn't just about introducing students to careers; it's about giving them people in their corner who can help them navigate the journey.
Six years in, we are grateful for a partnership that continues to make a difference!

A Night of Faith, Fellowship & Community!
Century High School was proud to host Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA) Fields of Faith at the Century Football Stadium!
Although the weather was a little wet and chilly, it didn't dampen the spirit or enthusiasm of those who attended! FCA members from Century, Mayo, John Marshall, and surrounding communities came together for an evening of fellowship, worship, and faith.
A HUGE shout-out to Chick-fil-A for generously sponsoring the event and providing chicken sandwiches and chicken tenders for everyone to enjoy! Your support helped make the evening even more special!
A special thank-you to everyone who attended, our talented musicians, guest speakers Cole Morgan and Caleb Smith, and all of our outstanding FCA student leaders who helped bring this event together. What a great reminder of the power of faith, fellowship, and community!
Today, over 40 Century High School students attended Construct Tomorrow, an exciting, hands-on event highlighting opportunities in the union construction trades!
Students explored different trades, participated in hands-on activities, connected with industry professionals, and learned about union benefits and apprenticeship programs.
A big thank you to Construct Tomorrow and the trade professionals who provided our Panthers with a valuable opportunity to explore their options for the future!
Century is proud to launch a new partnership with Mayo Clinic’s Department of Family Medicine, creating a unique, year-long mentorship opportunity for students interested in careers in medicine and healthcare!
At our first meeting, students explored the pathway to becoming a physician, learned how family medicine impacts our community, and connected directly with physicians to ask questions and gain valuable career insights.
Throughout the year, students will experience physician mentorship, hands-on simulation labs, medical career panels, and more—all while earning school credit through Century’s Internship Experience Course!
A special thank-you to Dr. Steve Bruce, Dr. Greg Garrison, and the entire Mayo Clinic Family Medicine team for making this new partnership possible and investing in our students’ futures!

What does your future career look like? For 50 Century High School students, attending Mayo Clinic’s High School Career Festival was an opportunity to explore that question firsthand.
Our students stepped beyond the classroom to participate in hands-on activities, discover career possibilities, and connect directly with professionals from a variety of fields. They learned about educational pathways, workplace skills, and the many roles that contribute to Mayo Clinic’s mission.
One of the best parts of the experience came on the bus ride home, when students were already talking about specific careers that caught their interest. It was exciting to hear them reflect on what they experienced and consider new possibilities for their futures.
A special thank you to Mayo Clinic and all the professionals who took time out of their busy schedules to share their career journeys, answer students’ questions, and offer valuable insight into their fields. Your willingness to invest in the next generation makes a difference!
Way to go, Panthers, for exploring new possibilities and taking steps toward your futures.
