Business Professionals of America has over 1,800 chapters across 25 states and Puerto Rico, as well as an international presence in China, Haiti, and Peru. Every state gets to bring the top two teams in each team event, the top three in individually judged events, and the top six students in each individual (non-judged) event. Nationals is where we really get to see and compete against a lot of students from all across the United States and even the world.
The Shelbyville High School Chapter of BPA was awarded a Certificate of Achievement for our participation in the BPA Cares Program and for successfully conducting activities in Membership Explosion. The six students that went to Nationals this year and competed represented SHS very well. The following list includes each student's participation and placement at Nationals.
