Prince Edward County High School students recently participated in the Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA) state leadership conference held in Reston. Students returned home as proud winners and state officers.

For several months leading up to the competition, students prepared by researching, reading and writing. The hard work paid off on the day of the competition when several students won awards. Tiba Hamza received first place in Health Care Administration; a team comprised of Sam Detrick and Ben Edwards received third place in Marketing; and Mason Kinne participated in Public Speaking. Because of their success at the state level, Hamza, Detrick, and Edwards are now eligible to attend the National Leadership FBLA Competition in June in San Antonio, Texas.
