School nursing is a specialized practice of public health nursing that promotes and protects individual student health, facilitates development, and advances academic success.  

Celina ISD employs health professionals to serve as school nurses in our school clinics.  School nurses work with students and their families, school personnel, the community, and health care providers to advocate for student health and a healthy school environment.   

Nurses monitor student records for required immunizations, perform mandated health screenings, track communicable diseases, plan for health related emergencies, deliver direct care for students, teach disease prevention and health promotion, and engage students in self-management skills for a healthy life.
