In November, the Riverside High School BPA (Business Professionals of America) held an Executive (Local) Torch Award Ceremony, that included an ice cream social for the local Torch winners.
The Business Professionals of America Torch Awards Program is designed to promote professionalism and leadership in both career development and personal growth.
Students complete activities in the seven Torch categories: Leadership; Service; Cooperation; Knowledge; Friendship; Love, Hope, Faith; and Citizenship – then log their activities in an online Torch Résumé.
Each activity is worth 5, 10, 15, or 20 points.
When a student achieves a certain number of points for each category, their advisor or local reviewer can submit the résumé online to be reviewed for recognition.
All students completing a satisfactory résumé will earn either an Executive Torch Award certificate.

- Bryson Eaton
