    Hello and Welcome to the Academy Park High School Nurse's Office Website

     

    My name is  Mrs.Dawn Casey.  I am the Certified School Nurse for Academy Park High School.  I received my BSN (Bachelors of Science in Nursing) degree from Holy Family University in Philadelphia, PA.  I received my School Nurse Certification and my MHEd. (Masters in Health Education) from Widener University in Chester, PA.  I have worked for 23 years here in the Southeast Delco School District. Prior coming to Academy Park High School, I worked at the following schools:  Harris School, Sharon Hill School, Darby Township School, and the Kindergarten Center.  I also worked during the summers with the ESY (Extended School Year) Program.  I have worked in  various specialties in my  Nursing Career.  I am a member of the B.E.R.T(Building Emergency Response Team), The District Safety Committee, The Re-Opening Planning Committee and School Sponsor  for the Classes of 2011 and 2015.  My goal is  to make your child's High School experience a safe and healthy one.
