Three students enrolled in health occupation courses at the Evansville Vanderburgh School Corporation’s Southern Indiana Career and Technical Center, were honored recently at the National HOSA Leadership Conference in California this summer.
Students Emily Jackson, Nicole Winters and Carolanne Pierce were recognized for their work in the National Recognition Program. The purpose of the program is for students to demonstrate the skills, abilities and attitudes necessary to pursue a career in health care. In order to demonstrate those attributes, students spend two years creating a portfolio of evidence of his/her accomplishments, including presentations, projects, writing samples, certifications and more.
In addition, Pierce also received the Barbara James Service Award which recognizes individual HOSA members whose commitment to community service is worthy of recognition. The award is named after Barbara James, 1982-1983 HOSA Inc. Board Chairman.
