Students left JSEC promptly at 8:15AM and arrived at the Johnson & Wales Conference Center by 8:45AM. Student brought with them all their projects, posters, medical equipment, and Chromebooks which they later set up to present in front of a panel of judges.

JSEC Administration, Teachers, Partners, Community Leaders are all super proud of this Team and funding has been set aside for our JSEC students to attend the Nationals in June. JSEC received 5 awards at the competition. We have seen significant growth of the Biomedical Program, spearheaded by Mrs. Chisholm. We will be progressing and growing even more with JSEC’s 2024-2025 expansion and Redesign Plan.
Congrats to JSEC for continueing to shine brightly and best of luck to all students who will be attending the HOSA National Convention, in Texas, the last week of June, 2024.
