\u201cI am extremely proud of our students and their performances at area this year,\u201d said head FBLA Advisor, John Whitten. \u201cOur students had a limited time this year to get their presentations and speeches done and study for their tests this semester due to competition being held about six weeks earlier than normal. Students put a lot of hard work by staying after school every Monday for two months to prepare for competition. Students will now begin the process of trying to better their test scores along with improving their presentations and speeches for state. We have a great group of FBLA students who embody the spirit of what you would want in a future leader. I am proud to lead such a dedicated group of students who make me proud to be their advisor.\u201d<\/h3>\n

Advancing students will compete at the FBLA State Leadership Conference at the Kalahari Resort in Round Rock on February 23-25, 2025. MPHS FBLA Advisors are John Whitten, Shanta Lockett, and Tracy Porter.<\/h3>\n
