Our Health Occupations students participate in a student organization called, HOSA which is an organization for future health professionals. Prior to the pandemic, our students worked extremely hard in preparing for HOSA’s State Conference that was scheduled this past April and like everything else, was cancelled. Just recently, HOSA offered a virtual awards ceremony for a few of the events they were able to judge and HOSA Advisors, Ms. Theresa Cairns, Health Occupations Instructor and Mrs. Izzy Mitsch, Health Occupations Instructional Assistant, are very happy to announce a list of winners from that ceremony.
Congratulations to the following student winners!
