Brownwood High School (BHS) HOSA students competed at the State Leadership Conference in Round Rock on April 29-May 1. “We took a great group of students that had worked hard throughout the year,” said Health Science teacher Annalyn Deen. “The hard work paid off each night we were there. At the opening session, we had three seniors recognized with scholarships from Texas HOSA.” BHS seniors Isaiah Rosas, Kamila Ramos, and Miranda Northcutt received scholarships.

“The second day of competition was busy and ended in the Recognition session,” noted Deen. “This was one of our biggest nights as we had five students qualify for the International Leadership Conference.” Kyle Recolizado (HOSA Happenings), Hannah Deen (Organizational Leadership), Kamila Ramos (Health Care Issues), Xavier Martinez (Health Care Issues), and Jaleah Brew (Health Care Issues) qualified for the International Leadership Conference in their respective categories.

Kyle Recolizado also placed in the top five in the state in his category. “The third night of competition, we learned that Kyle placed fourth in the state in Pharmacy Science,” added Deen. “Overall we have had a great year with tremendous success.”

The HOSA International Leadership Conference will be held June 18-21 in Nashville, Tennessee.
