Which students make up the secondary division of HOSA?

The secondary division of HOSA consists of high school students. This is because HOSA, or Health Occupations Students of America, was established to support students who are pursuing careers in the healthcare field, and the secondary division is specifically tailored to those enrolled in high school programs. High school students participate in various activities that enhance their knowledge and skills in health sciences, preparing them for further education and careers in healthcare.

In contrast, college students are involved in the post-secondary division, which is designed for those enrolled in college-level programs. Similarly, middle school students and graduate students are not categorized in the secondary division; middle school students typically fall into a different younger category, while graduate students are grouped with those pursuing advanced degrees in healthcare-related fields. Hence, the inclusion of high school students in the secondary division accurately reflects HOSA's focus on engaging youth at this crucial educational stage.
