155 BCPS Kids Earn Top 10 Honors During State Conference

BALTIMORE COUNTY, MD — More than 150 Baltimore County Public Schools students placed in the top 10 in their events at the 2021 Future Business Leaders of America State Conference. Students who placed in the top four of their events may move on to compete at the online national conference in June.

Students from 10 Baltimore County public high schools participated in this year’s online FBLA State Conference. Participating high schools were Catonsville, Chesapeake, Dulaney, Eastern Tech, Hereford, New Town, Loch Raven, Pikesville, Sparrows Point and Woodlawn. During the event, held throughout March and April, conference attendees participated in individual and team competitions and workshops offered by students and industry professionals. Some of the competitions were online objective-based tests, while others were taped/premade presentations or an interactive meeting with a judge from business and industry.

The conference was planned by the FBLA state officer team, which includes three BCPS students – Kathy Yao of Dulaney High School, state president; Vinay Khosla of Dulaney High School, state secretary-treasurer; and Neha Mupparapu of Eastern Technical High School, Region 2 vice president.

Elections for 2021-2022 state officers were held during the conference and two BCPS students won seats. Aaron Ren of Dulaney High was elected reporter-historian and Noah Duncan of Eastern Technical High was elected Region 2 vice president.
