Business Professionals of America (BPA), the nation’s premier Career Technical Student Organization, witnessed a stellar showcase of talent as Benjamin Logan High School’s BPA chapter participated in state contests on March 7th and 8th.
Twelve dedicated students engaged in competitions spanning finance, business management, and information technology.
BPA not only offers invaluable skill development but also fosters personal connections crucial for navigating today’s fast-paced business environments.
The BLHS BPA members took full advantage of this, networking with peers from across the state, electing state officers, and enjoying unique experiences like a Columbus Blue Jackets game.
A well-deserved ice cream party added a sweet touch to their post-competition celebrations.
