Mt. Lebanon Students Compete at FBLA National Leadership Conference in San Antonio, TX

This June, two members of Mt. Lebanon High School’s Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA) chapter proudly represented Mt. Lebanon at the national level at the FBLA National Leadership Conference (NLC), held in San Antonio, Texas, from June 29th to July 2nd.  

Henry Mitchell and Barrett Jones, both of the Class of 2027, earned their spots at nationals after outstanding performances at preliminary competitions. Both students placed highly at the regional level before competing against students from across Pennsylvania at the state level, where they finished in the top four of their respective events to qualify for the national competition.

At the NLC, both students demonstrated their extensive dedication and knowledge of business when competing in their events. Mitchell competed in the test-based Data Science and AI event, while Jones participated in Journalism, also a test-based event. Reflecting on his experience in competition, Mitchell noted, “I enjoyed competing in my event because I was able to combine my interest in data science and artificial intelligence with their respective business applications.”

Both Mitchell and Jones valued the NLC as an opportunity to connect and network with high school students from across the country who share their passion for business. They enjoyed exchanging ideas and learning about other students’ experiences. 

The Mt. Lebanon community celebrates Mitchell and Jones for their accomplishments and for representing their school with distinction at the national level.
