Four County Career Center is thrilled to announce that three of our Health Careers students recently attended the International Leadership Conference of HOSA - Future Health Professionals in Houston, Texas.

(Pictured LEFT TO RIGHT) Brooklyn Fry (Patrick Henry) competed in Nursing Assisting, Sofia Rodriguez (Evergreen) showcased her skills in Personal Care, and Halle Six (Bryan) participated in the Job Seeking Skills competition.
