ORLANDO, FLORIDA – Four students from the Gila Institute for Technology program recently competed in the International Leadership Conference in Orlando, Florida from June 18 to June 23.

Courtney Davis placed first nationally in the Home Health Aide. Moriah Guy placed third nationally in Nursing Assistant. McKayla Wilson placed third nationally in Physical Therapy.  Rachelle Gutierrez competed in Pharmacy.

These students were accompanied by their HOSA advisor Marianne Taylor. We are so excited for these students winning, placing, and competing nationally. They are all outstanding young ladies who will continue with their post-secondary education. All four were Arizona HOSA state winners in their perspective fields to qualify for nationals.
