RHS students build business experience at FBLA national competition

Six Rhinelander High School students and their advisor traveled to Orlando, Fla. late last month for the Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA) National Leadership Conference.

Approximately 16,000 students attended the conference — held from June 26 to July 3 — each with the goal of making it to the stage as a finalist. Rhinelander students competed in various business-related events, according to a School District of Rhinelander press release. In addition to competing, students attended workshops, enjoyed Magic Kingdom & Universal Studios, and met other students from across the United States.

Kate Ripple competed in Business Communications where she was honored to be called to the stage as a finalist. She placed 10th overall in the nation. Cassie Burke, Payton McCue and Alyssa Smits competed in Community Service Project and Skylar Cleveland and Lucas Haselton participated in leadership academy.
