HOSA students make EVIT proud!

EVIT HOSA (Health Occupations Students of America) students brought home several honors from the National Leadership Conference in Nashville in June.

The group received a merit award for their efforts for Autism; the HOSA bowl team placed 35 out of 100 teams, a great improvement over past years; and Kaitlyn Smith made it past the test into the second round of Nursing Assistant and placed in the top 30.

The students were accompanied by health teachers Jon Howell and Sharon Black, who said that “while winning medals is important, our students got to attend a conference where they learned about leadership and are ready to lead in HOSA next year. I’m so excited for the future of HOSA and EVIT.”

Here's the group when they first arrived in Nashville:

And here they are about to enter the awards ceremony, where they received honors for their Autism Speaks campaign that raised over $2,700.

Congrats, HOSA students!
