The high school was fortunate to have nine students represent St. Francis FBLA at the state leadership competition in Milwaukee this past weekend (April 2-4). The competition featured over 800 FBLA students from all over the state. The students that competed in Milwaukee needed to place in the top three of their respected business category at the regional level. Of the nine students that competed in Milwaukee, three of them qualified for nationals in Anaheim, CA!! To have nine students competing at the state level, and three advancing to the national stage is an awesome accomplishment!

The three students that qualified, along with their categories are:

Ray Moths for placing 3rd in Networking Concepts
Tony Corso for placing 2nd in Networking Concepts and
Adam Philip for placing 3rd in Cyber Security

The National FBLA Championship Competition will be held in Anaheim, CA, from June 25-28.
