32 Parkston HOSA members attended the 2024 HOSA State Leadership Conference in Sioux Falls over the past two days. Evan Bartelt was selected to sing The National Anthem during the opening session on Thursday. Members competed, attended breakout sessions, and networked with other SD members, colleges, and businesses throughout the conference. Several individuals and teams placed in the Top 10 in their events, but only the Top 3 receive medals and advancement to the International Leadership Conference in Houston, TX, in June. Receiving those honors were senior Mason Neugebauer, 2nd Place in Medical Math; junior Mackenzie Titze, 3rd Place in Family Medicine Physician; and the team of sophomores Finley Bogenreif and Rory Juhnke, 3rd Place in Health Education. (Mackenzie was unable to accept her award on stage as she had to leave early for a softball game.) Congratulations to all members for their outstanding representation of our chapter and school!
Last Call for Yearbook Orders! I would like these in by May 3rd at the latest! Thank you for understanding! #TrojanPride
