De Bakey High School For Health Professions
Michael E. DeBakey High School for Health Professions is a medical secondary school located in the Third Ward area of Houston, Texas, United States.
It has been named the number one public high school in Houston by the Houston Chronicle, the Houston Press, and Children at Risk and number 36 best high school in the US by US News in 2012, even though it does not offer the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (Bellaire and Lamar High School, two other schools in Houston do). DeBakey High School, which serves grades 9 through 12, is a part of the Houston Independent School District and is east of the Texas Medical Center. It is the only HISD magnet high school for health professions. The school was named after Michael E. DeBakey, a famous heart surgeon. DeBakey does not automatically take in students from the surrounding neighborhood; the surrounding neighborhood is zoned to Yates High School. Nearly 1000 students take entrance exams for 200-300 spots, which cover statistical data and procedures.

Famous quotes containing the words high, school, health and/or professions:
“I’m for a high libido president! I applaud him if he gets up and picks up women.”
—Camille Paglia (b. 1947)

Plucked bitter wisdom that enriched his blood.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
“Criticism is often not a science; it is a craft, requiring more good health than wit, more hard work than talent, more habit than native genius. In the hands of a man who has read widely but lacks judgment, applied to certain subjects it can corrupt both its readers and the writer himself.”
—Jean De La Bruyère (1645–1696)
“Friendship takes place between those who have an affinity for one another, and is a perfectly natural and inevitable result. No professions nor advances will avail.... It is a drama in which the parties have no part to act.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
