Area juniors, seniors stuc Three Davis KAYSVILLE Area Vocational Center health occupations students traveled to Philadelphia recently to compete in a national competition. The trio participated in the national Health Occupations Student Association convention in the City of Brotherly Love along with eight others from Utah, says Scott Hess, state health occupations specialist. Marni McNally from Davis High and Tammy McAdams and Carmen Singleton, both from Viewmont High, took first place honors in competition held earlier for students from across the state at the DA VC. Theyre three of more than 350 high school ju niors and seniors participating in the DAVC health occupations program, one of the first of its kind in the state. Diane Broadhead oversees the program in north Davis while Jay Greaves coordinates the south county classes.
