"History Made by Rockwall ISD HOSA EMT Teams!
This past weekend, Rockwall ISD’s HOSA EMT teams made history—achieving something never accomplished before in the 50-year history of Area 3 HOSA competition. Our students swept the entire podium, earning 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place in the EMT event!
These incredible students dedicate countless hours to mastering lifesaving skills, often with little recognition. This weekend, their hard work paid off in a way that will be remembered for decades.
1st Place: London Tes & Tori Sharkey
2nd Place: Lillie Bonner & Kaiden Farish
3rd Place: Laurel Smith & Allison Vaughn
Rockwall ISD is beyond proud—our students didn’t just show up, they dominated the field and made history."
