HOSA competed at The State Leadership Conference Tuesday 3/3/26. Students competed in EMT, Medical Spelling, and Medical Photography. Students also attended conference workshops.
Some students dissected a cow eyeball, while others learned strategies to get into medical school. One session depicted a simulated live birth in which a life-threatening emergency occurred. The fake mom and fake baby both survived!

Culinary Arts students worked hard on different ideas for the upcoming Bourbon and Bow Ties event. Students had full creative control of what they thought would be the winning dessert and entree for the special event. Staff and students were used as judges to decide which dessert and entree would be chosen to be refined before the event. Take a look, what would you have chosen?!

We had an amazing Girls Who Code event this Saturday for 6th–8th grade girls! 💻✨
Our SVT high school girls did a fantastic job leading, and a big thank you to Christy Hatherly for helping make it all happen.
The middle schoolers were engaged, excited, and even left inspired to potentially start coding clubs at their own schools!
