Which membership type is eligible to compete in high school level events?

Secondary members are those who are currently enrolled in high school and are therefore eligible to compete in high school level events. This membership classification specifically pertains to students in grades 9 to 12, allowing them to participate in various competitions and activities organized by HOSA that are tailored to their level of education and experience.

In contrast, alumni members are individuals who have graduated from high school but wish to remain connected to HOSA, often in a supportive or mentorship role, rather than competing. Post-secondary members are those enrolled in post-secondary educational institutions such as colleges or universities, which is a step beyond high school and thus not eligible for high school level events. Lastly, honorary members typically include individuals recognized for their contributions to HOSA but do not participate in competitions.
