“We’re extremely proud of our HOSA students,” said Brad Richardson, OHP Assistant Superintendent. “They worked really hard on their contests, our teachers helped prepare them, and we enjoyed cheering them on from the regional level to the state competition and now onto nationals.”
In between contests and sessions, students were able to explore Toledo and watch a Mud Hen’s game at Fifth Third Field.
The HOSA International Leadership Conference is scheduled for June 26-29 in Houston, Texas, where OHP’s national qualifiers will represent Ohio Hi-Point and their partner districts on the national stage.
