Sequim High School teacher Renee Colwill has been recognized as the Outstanding Middle School HOSA Advisor of the Year for Washington State by the Health Occupations Students of America (HOSA). This honor was presented during the HOSA International Leadership Conference, which celebrates advisors across the nation for their exceptional commitment to health science education and student leadership.
Each year, HOSA recognizes one Secondary, one Postsecondary/Collegiate, and one Middle School Advisor from each state association. These awards highlight the outstanding dedication, time, and energy that advisors devote to creating opportunities for students to explore the world of healthcare.
As a Sequim High School health sciences teacher and advisor for the Sequim Middle School HOSA chapter, Mrs. Colwill has helped cultivate curiosity and confidence in students just beginning their journey into the medical field. Through her mentorship, middle school students are developing leadership skills, exploring health professions, and connecting classroom learning to real-world experiences.
Congratulations to Renee Colwill on this well-deserved recognition and for inspiring the next generation of healthcare leaders right here in Sequim!
