The Warriors’ video placed first in the territorial HOSA competition,

The Tafuna team are juniors: Savannah Savali, Anthony Joey Leo and Francis Vaofanua.

Also in Nashville for the HOSA conference were Leilani Togi-Nu’uuli Votech: Talalelei Robert’s-Faasao Marist; Princess Viesea-South Pacific Horizon, Dorrine Tuisamatatele -Fagaitua, and Marianive Tauave-Tafuna High School.

In addition to students from across the United States and other territories, there were also competitors from China, South Korea, Canada and more.

It was a tough decision on the parents of seniors in the group, who had to leave for the HOSA event before their final exams. The students took their finals in Honolulu en route to Tennessee. All seniors graduated virtually.

Malo lava to the Tafuna High School HOSA Team for placing top 10 and to all our students who competed.
