Dean Shargey would like to collect information about DeBakey graduates to help document and share the HSHP success story.

If you graduated from DeBakey HSHP or know someone who has, please fill out the form at https://forms.gle/Zk9S6fXmhM2kv7gz7. This data will demonstrate the educational and employment impact this high-performing program has had across the city, the state, the nation, and the world. By taking a moment of your time to complete the survey, you will join us in celebrating the health professions legacy of our beloved high school. NOTE:  All responses will remain CONFIDENTIAL. We do not share or sell contacts or information. We will report group data ONLY from this survey. 

 Feel free to forward the survey link to other HSHP/DHSHP colleagues, friends, or relatives. We would love 100% graduate participation. Your story is important, as it helps weave together the fabric of our diverse health professions community. Thank you for being a part of HP heritage.

Congratulations to all the Running Club members who came to participate in this year's HLSR Rodeo Run! The 5K/10K is the latest in a series of races that the team has participated in over the school year. Club President, Hannah Rosanes (3rd from the left), finished 3rd in her Age Group with a 10K time of 55 minutes and 50 seconds!
