Under her leadership, our Future Health Professionals club celebrated some major achievements last year. Forty-two lions represented Gravette at the state leadership conference, where sixteen competitors earned top-three finishes to qualify for international competition. The team more than tripled its award count from the previous year; demonstrating advanced healthcare knowledge and clinical skills.
Future Health Professionals organized a record-breaking blood drive last year that achieved 120 percent of its collection goal for the Community Blood Center of the Ozarks. The group also organized and hosted a school-wide pickleball tournament, raising $1,000 for local mental health services at the Ozark Guidance Center.
Here is what 7 Brew Coffee shared along with the recognition:
"Through service, leadership, and a commitment to others, 7 Brew Heroes embody what it means to Cultivate Kindness™ and make a lasting impact. As students head back to school, we're especially grateful for the educators who live out those values every day, investing in the next generation and helping young people discover what they're capable of.
This month, we're honored to recognize Mrs. Robin Hilger as our August 7 Brew Hero. As a medical science teacher and HOSA advisor at Gravette High School, Mrs. Hilger has spent years pouring into the lives of her students both inside and outside the classroom. Her classroom became a place where students could find encouragement, guidance, and someone who genuinely believed in them. Through her leadership, countless students have pursued careers in healthcare, carrying forward the same spirit of service and compassion she modeled for them.
Beyond preparing students for HOSA competitions and careers in medicine, Mrs. Hilger has empowered them to make a difference in their community through annual blood drives, creating a ripple effect that reaches far beyond the school walls. Her impact can be seen not only in the lives she has touched directly, but also in the future nurses, doctors, caregivers, and healthcare professionals she has inspired along the way.
We're proud to celebrate Mrs. Hilger and the many educators whose dedication, kindness, and belief in their students continue to change lives every day. To thank her for the incredible difference she's made, we're honored to recognize her with $500 and free drinks for a year."
Thank you to Mrs. Hilger for guiding these students and providing strong leadership in our medical science program. We appreciate 7 Brew for supporting local educators who invest in our community and we look forward to the ways HOSA will continue to improve health and wellness in Gravette. 🦁🧡 #LionPride #GravetteSchools
