Did you know?? We started a HOSA (health occupation students of America) at DRHS this year. These 5 girls are attending the HOSA State Leadership Conference at the Pentagon today and tomorrow. I'm grateful to these girls for taking the leap into something new and hoping this grows in the years to come. It's a great career-related event!
