Three Former CCHS Students Complete Work-Based Learning Health Program

Three former Churchill County High School students — Addison Sandberg, Makayla Matheson, and Katelen Helton — graduated in May 2025 after completing a Work-Based Learning program funded through Nevada Works, with support from the Governor’s Office. The program was coordinated at the high school by Dr. Sue Segura.

The goal of the program is to prepare students for careers as medical assistants and help address the growing demand for health care professionals in northern Nevada.

Sandberg, Matheson, and Helton earned certificates in phlebotomy, EKG technology, and medical assisting. According to program data, 100% of students who completed the program secured job placements in the health care field.
