Academy of Science and Medicine, also known as ASM, is a public half-day high school program on the north side of Evansville, IN. The school is hosted within and shares faculty with Central High School, and is part of the Evansville Vanderburgh School Corporation. The program is open to students in the EVSC, as well as schools in the surrounding area.[1] ASM was founded as the Medical Professions Academy, or MPA, but was renamed in 2023 to Academy of Science and Medicine. The EVSC purchased a building in downtown Evansville to be used as a future expansion to the program.[2]
