Leander ISD’s HOSA – Future Health Professionals programs are flourishing on LISD’s high school campuses. After sending nearly 100 students to the district competition in San Antonio, over 30 students continued to the State Competition, where many of them placed in their respective competition categories.

Four Leander High School students – Sachin Gangireddy, Asiya Maredia, Sindhuja Madala and Ayaan Ahsan – received Gold Level service awards, and Leander High student Emily Yeung received a silver service award. Vista Ridge’s Eunchae Kang was named Area 1 HOSA Vice President, and Leander High’s Aditi Busa was named Area 1 HOSA Secretary. Vandegrift’s Avery LaRussa came in 2nd in medical reading, and Sahana Pandey came in 2nd in the Research Poster category.

Congratulations to all of our incredible HOSA students on their success!
