Six students from Shiloh Middle School placed in the top ten for their competitive events at the Health Occupations Students of America (HOSA) State Leadership Conference. One of the top ten winners from Shiloh Middle will advance to compete at the HOSA International Leadership Conference in Houston, Texas, from June 26 to 29, joining other qualifying HOSA participants.
Shiloh Middle School Principal Chris Bess is proud of the students. “Our Jr. HOSA Chapter is exceptional for several reasons,” Bess shares. “First, we are the district's first and only middle school Jr. HOSA chapter. Second, our students are committed to participating in Jr. HOSA before and after school in the absence of a Healthcare Science Connections course. Finally, the small size of our chapter affords the opportunity for dedicated time to prepare each Jr. HOSA member for the competitive event that works best for them during the before and after school meetings.”
HOSA is an international student organization recognized by the U.S. Department of Education and the Health Science Education Division of the Association for Career and Technical Education. Its mission is to promote career opportunities in the healthcare industry and enhance quality healthcare delivery to all people. HOSA provides a unique leadership development program, motivation, and recognition exclusively for secondary, postsecondary, middle school, adult, and collegiate students enrolled in health science education and biomedical science programs or interested in pursuing careers in health professions.
