HOSA Attends State Leadership Conference

The Blythewood High School Health Occupations Students of America group attended the state
leadership conference.  It was the largest showing of students in HOSA history with just under 1500 students competing. Placing in the top three allows students the opportunity to compete at the national conference in Anaheim, California later in June.  The BHS HOSA had a great showing with two students qualifying for the national conference and several other students finishing in the top ten.
