It was a day of glory for many APS students who competed in a recent Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA) District Leadership Conference. Between Vista PEAK Preparatory and Rangeview High School, nearly 50 students qualified to compete in FBLA’s State Leadership Conference. The event will take place April 23-25 in Vail, Colo.
“We are very proud of the efforts from the FBLA students at Vista PEAK and Rangeview,” said Career and Technical Education Coordinator Valerie Dodrill-Killen. “Vista PEAK’s FBLA club sponsor Michael Dougherty and Rangeview’s FBLA club sponsor Lawson Miller put their hearts and souls into these students, which gives students a ‘leg up’ to reach their future goals and increases postsecondary and workforce readiness skills.”
