Mount Pleasant High School’s Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA) chapter traveled to Dallas to participate in the Mavericks’ annual Business Marketing Day on Wednesday, November 8. Students toured American Airlines Center and heard presentations from marketing, sales and public relations officials with the Mavericks. Students had the opportunity to learn about different careers available in the sports and entertainment industry including digital content, journalism, marketing, sales, public relations, internships, game-day planning, and advertising. Area 6 State Vice President and chapter co-President, Sophie Greco, even had the opportunity to ask a question of the panel on the marketing team.

After the tour and speaking engagements, students stayed and watched the Mavericks play the Toronto Raptors. Advisors on the trip were John Whitten from Mount Pleasant High School and Daisy Banda from Mount Pleasant Junior High.
