Fifty-five students from the ACE Center at Hermitage represented their school with distinction at the HOSA–Future Health Professionals State Leadership Conference, held in Roanoke, Virginia, in March. Competing against students from across the Commonwealth, Hermitage HOSA members demonstrated strong leadership, technical skill, and professionalism in a wide range of healthcare-related competitive events.

The results were exceptional. Twenty-four ACE Center at Hermitage students earned Top 5 finishes at the state level, reflecting their dedication and preparation. In addition, 12 students qualified for the HOSA International Leadership Conference (ILC), which will take place in June in Indianapolis, Indiana. Qualification for the international conference places these students among the top HOSA competitors in Virginia.
These accomplishments highlight the strength of the health science programs at the ACE Center at Hermitage and the commitment of both students and advisors to excellence in career and technical education. The school community is proud of all that these students achieved and looks forward to supporting them as they represent Hermitage on the international stage.
