HOSA State Conference Winners

MHHS HOSA students competed this year at the virtual State Leadership Conference (SLC) and many of our students won top placings.  Many of these students will have the opportunity to move on to the International Leadership Conference (ILC) this year.  Seventy-nine students qualified for the State Leadership Conference.   

Recognition awards were presented at the Opening Ceremony of SLC.  During this time Mountain House High School was recognized for its contribution  to the HOSA National Service Project, Be The Match.  MHHS students led by Hamsa Parab raised over $400 and received a Certificate of Recognition.  Additionally, Arav Mohan and Pavan Bathula were recognized for their achievement in the Healthcare Issues Exam.  They both were in the top 10% of the state.  

At the Grand Awards ceremony additional awards were presented in  a number of categories for top achievement at the State Level.  Below are the many awards received by Mountain House High School Students.  Students who achieved Gold, Silver, or Bronze medals have qualified for the ILC.  The other students are alternates.
