This past weekend 14 DBHS students traveled to Sacramento to compete at the Cal-HOSA State Leadership Conference. This was the 30th anniversary conference attended by more than 3,000 Future Health Professionals from around the state. It was an intense weekend of leadership, engagement, and service. I want to thank all of our supporters and sponsors as this past weekend would not have been possible without your support.
