Long Beach Health Science Bearcats Shine at the State HOSA Competition!

4 days ago

We are incredibly proud of our Long Beach High School Health Science Bearcats for their outstanding performance at the HOSA – Future Health Professionals State Leadership Conference!

A group of twelve people stand together outdoors in front of a large tree. They are dressed in formal business attire, most wearing black suits with white shirts, and one person in a blue suit. All wear yellow lanyards with name badges. One individual in the front row has medals around their neck. The group stands on grass near a building and parked cars, posing for a group photo at what appears to be a professional or academic event.

We are incredibly proud of our Long Beach High School Health Science Bearcats for their outstanding performance at the HOSA – Future Health Professionals State Leadership Conference!

This year, 13 of our students placed at the district level, and 11 advanced to compete at the state competition, representing Long Beach with excellence, professionalism, and dedication to the health science field.

Two people stand outdoors in front of a tree and a brick building. Both wear black blazers, white shirts, and yellow lanyards with ID badges. They are smiling and holding medals, suggesting they have received awards. The setting appears to be a school or campus, and the photo captures a celebratory moment.

LBHS Bearcat Jett Hughes,Build Mississippi/MDE, CTE Student of the Month!
   A student stands in a classroom wearing a flipped‑up welding helmet and a beige protective welding jacket. They hold a rectangular metal piece in one hand and give a thumbs‑up with the other. Behind them is a light gray cinder block wall, an open wooden door, and a table with a laptop, water bottle, and assorted supplies. Additional bottles and containers sit on the floor along the wall. The scene captures a moment of hands‑on welding or shop‑class work.

Proud Bearcat moment at War Memorial Park!
Today   ada alt text Here’s clean, ADA-compliant alt text for your image—clear, concise, and focused on purpose and context.  Alt Text:   A group of five people work together outdoors to install a tall metal flag pole into the ground. They steady the pole and use tools while standing on a grassy area near a chain-link fence, with trees and a white vehicle in the background.

Long Beach High School CTE students put their skills to work this week, installing a new flagpole for the City of Long Beach. Under the guidance of their dedicated instructors, these students planned, prepared, and completed the installation—adding a meaningful and beautiful enhancement to one of our community’s most treasured spaces.

Superintendent Dr. Talia Lock praised the students’ efforts, sharing: “Our CTE students continue to show what it means to serve with pride and purpose. Their craftsmanship and willingness to support our city reflect the very best of Long Beach. We are incredibly proud of the work they’ve done to help beautify War Memorial Park.”

Thank you to our talented students, their instructors, and the City of Long Beach for this partnership that highlights the power of hands‑on learning and community service.

Bearcats make a difference—on campus and beyond.
