HOSA students around the county tested their skills and knowledge at the Tennessee State Leadership Conference on March 25-27, 2024.
Students competed in competitive leadership, teamwork, emergency preparedness and health sciences events. Students who placed high enough in their categories are eligible to compete at the International Leadership Conference this summer.
Independence High’s Alyssa Watkins placed first in the Human Growth and Development category.
“Alyssa used the information learned in the classroom and on her own to place first,” said IHS HOSA adviser Brandi Mangrum. “HOSA helps students prepare for a career in the medical field by giving them opportunities through community service, competitions and teamwork to learn and grow their passion for helping others.”
HOSA is an organization that aims to promote career opportunities in the healthcare industry and be a program of leadership development, motivation and recognition for secondary, post-secondary, adult and collegiate students.
Congratulations to the students who placed in their categories.
