About three dozen Regional Occupation Program students, together with community members, teachers and school district administrators, witnessed on Sept. 5 the unveiling of a student-designed mural representing the Health Science and Medical Technology Pathway Program at Fontana High School.

The mural, which consists of four separate panels, represents a growing program at Fohi, which includes Certified and Acute Nurse Assistant, Medical Core, Personal Fitness Training, Veterinary Assistant and Sports Medicine, among others.

The unveiling represents the end of a two-year project that began with calling local artists, mainly students, to draw pieces that depicted health and science images, said Therese Kennedy, coordinator of Career Technical Education at the Fontana Unified School District.

The original idea was to award prizes for first and second places, but due to the high amount of great artwork, there were awards given for two first places and two second places, she added.

The mural was painted by artists Molly Griffin and James Griffin, both teachers at Jurupa Hills High School, and it took them about six weeks to finish.

The mural can be seen inside building E at Fohi.
