STOCKTON — A sports and health science academy is coming soon to the San Joaquin County Office of Education.

On Monday, Excel Academy, the only collegiate and health science academy in San Joaquin County, is having an open house from 4 to 6 p.m. at the SJCOE complex, 2720 Transworld Drive, Stockton.

A presentation is scheduled for 4:45. Parents and sixth- through 11th- grade students along with health fitness enthusiasts are encouraged to attend.
