•    Ardisha Thawrani: Behavior Health – 8th Place

“We are so proud of all of these amazing Braves; we are thrilled to see our students continue to excel and exceed expectations in highly competitive fields,” said Indian Hill High School Principal Jeff Damadeo. “Alyssa and Daniel’s qualification for nationals is not just a testament to their hard work, but also speaks volumes about the supportive environment our school and community provide. Ardisha’s impressive top 10 placement further highlights our students' passion and capability in making significant impacts in their future careers.”

“The HOSA program at Indian Hill High School aims to foster student knowledge, skill, and leadership in the healthcare field,” said Indian Hill High School teacher and HOSA mentor Sarah Brew. “These recent achievements at the state competition reflect the high standard of educational excellence and student potential within the program.”

Alyssa Kerr and Daniel Choi will be representing Indian Hill High School at the HOSA National Leadership Conference later this year, where they will compete against top contenders from across the country.
