For those who don’t know what it is Business Professionals of America (BPA) is a unique opportunity for members “to showcase their skills in areas involving Finance, Business Administration, Management Information Systems, Digital Communication & Design, Management, Marketing & Communication, and Health Administration.” says adviser Mrs. Neiman.

Students in BPA have the ability to work with computers as well as gain valuable friendships. “I think the most valuable thing I’ve learned from BPA is if you want something, just go for it.” says member Hannah Bennett. Bennett later stated that being apart of BPA also helped her make friendships not just within her team but also outside of it.

Recently BPA had the opportunity to attend state. On the last day of State down in Boise some of the members were able to snag some awards. Member Owen Miller speaks about his experience in Boise “The best part was when I won some state awards on the last day in Biose. Hannah and I got second in our team event and I got second in another event. It was also amazing seeing two of my other clubmates also getting awards in State.”. With these wins that the BPA team was able to achieve, they successfully secured their spot at nationals at the end of April in California. If you are looking to join BPA and maybe get the opportunity to win some medals Mrs Neinam gives this advice “…Why not? What is the best that could happen? Come and talk with me and I will get you involved!”
