The mission of the School Health Program is to strengthen the educational process of students by maximizing the quality and quantity of in-class time and decreasing the incidence of health related absenteeism by both students and staff.

The School Health Program offers a combination of comprehensive health services, supplemental health education and promotion of a healthful school environment by serving students, parents, school personnel and the community-at-large. Emphasis is placed on a healthy lifestyle thru four major areas: prevention, promotion, health education and screening.

The campus nurse, a health specialist, is an active member of the educational team who is concerned with the whole child, consequently, promoting optimal physical, mental, emotional and social development. Currently, UISD employs 37 Registered Nurses, 8 Licensed Vocational Nurses, 22 Health Assistants, 1 Department Secretary and 1 Health Office Clerk to meet the many needs of 40 school campuses, PEP, JJAEP, district offices and service areas.
