Visitation Students Excel at State HOSA Competition
Visitation Academy students delivered an outstanding performance at this year’s Missouri HOSA State Competition, earning top honors and advancing to national and international stages.
Senior Evie C. ’26 was elected as a Missouri HOSA State Officer, one of only five students selected statewide. She will represent Missouri’s future healthcare leaders at events across the state and in Washington, D.C. next year.
Several students qualified for the state competition by ranking among the top ten in Missouri in their events, with many advancing as finalists. Notably, seven Visitation Middle School students from the school’s new HOSA chapter placed in the top three in the state and will advance to international competition—an exceptional achievement.
