Tennessee HOSA's 8,000th Member

Congratulations, Copper Basin High School for affiliating the 8,000th Tennessee HOSA member! 

Tennessee HOSA is striving to surpass the 2015-16 school year record of 11,000 members by reaching 12,000 members for 2016-17! Join us in our membership drive! We are currently only a few hundred members from our goal! Students affiliated in the spring semester can still participate in the Tennessee HOSA State Conference, as well as other benefits HOSA offers students.

The Tennessee HOSA chapter who reaches our goal of 12,000 members will receive up to 5 FREE registrations for the Tennessee HOSA State Leadership Conference, giving a total of three Tennessee HOSA chapters a chance to attend HOSA conferences for FREE!
