My Project

Our LASA students in Health Occupation Students of America (HOSA) are studying and preparing to compete in up to 52 medical professions and events.

They are our future medical professionals and are learning about different careers as they prepare for competition from local, area, state, and international levels.

The books requested are specified by HOSA as reference and study materials. They will be housed in our library and checked out by students as they settle in on an event/profession they choose to compete in. The students spend many hours preparing and honing their skills and knowledge. This year we are sending 27 students to area competition, and we will see what the future holds!

Help mold our future medical professionals!
