What is HOSA and what is the Gift of Life HOSA Challenge?
Answer:
HOSA IS The Future Health Professionals, formerly known as
Health Occupations Students of America.
Approximately 3,000 Michigan patients are waiting for life-saving organ
transplants. The Gift of Life HOSA Challenge is to encourage people to sign
up to be an organ donor. You can help to save and heal lives right here in
Michigan by joining the Michigan Organ Donor Registry.
Anyone may join the organ donor registry, including minors. Parents may
legally revoke the decision of a minor to be a donor until that
individual turns 18. Anyone considering the decision to be a donor
is encouraged to discuss it with their family.
See page 2 of these announcements for more information.

Freshman and JV 2:30—4:00
Varsity 4:00—6:00
Anyone interested in trying out must sign in
at the athletic office.
“TEST OUT” SIGN UP IN THE GUIDANCE OFFICE NOW!!
You may sign up in the Guidance Office from

ATTENTION DHS VIRTUAL STUDENTS: Please email your test out request to
dswain@davisonschools.org
Test Outs will be administered the week of January 4, 2021.
NO LATE REGISTRATION ALLOWED!
A “test out” is for students who wish to be exempted from a class. They must take and receive 78% or high-
er on the exam. Students who do this will receive a “P” for their grade which does not affect their GPA.
Student athletes need to be aware that the NCAA will NOT accept credit earned by “testing out” for a cred-
it that is a core required class. Also, some colleges do NOT view test outs in a positive light unless the test
out is used for advancement and increased rigor in student schedules.
