H.O.S.A. State Leadership Conference

Conifer High School (H.O.S.A.) Health Occupations Students of America took 39 students to the Colorado State HOSA
Leadership Conference at the downtown Sheraton from Monday, February 21 -
Thursday, February 23. 26 of our competitors earned top 10 rankings in our
State, and several students were awarded medals for placing in the top 3 of
all-state competitors and will be provided with the opportunity to represent
our state at the International Competition in June.
A big thank you to our students, who worked hard to prepare for their
competitive events and for representing Conifer High School with integrity and
professionalism. We couldn't ask for a better group of students to spend our
time with! Also, special thanks to Owen Volzke for accompanying us and for
his unending trips down 16th street mall to get students Boba. Also, special
thanks to Karen McIntosh and the library staff for helping make sure our
students were able to successfully complete their qualifying rounds of testing.
We couldn't do this without their support. Here is a list of our official results.
If you happen to see these students, please give them a big shout-out for all of
their hard work!
