Business Professionals of America (BPA)
Region 4 BPA Competition
On January 31, Blaine High School’s Business Professionals of America (BPA) had an outstanding showing at the Region 4 BPA Competition, held at Anoka-Ramsey Community College in Coon Rapids. A total of 150 Blaine BPA members competed in events across business, finance, marketing, technology, and public speaking, all aiming to qualify for the State Leadership Conference in March.
Months of dedication and preparation paid off, with several Blaine BPA members securing a spot at the State BPA Conference, held March 6-8 at the Hyatt Regency in Minneapolis. "The competition was tough, but our hard work really showed," said Senior Dmer Browne. "It was a great experience to see everyone push themselves and succeed."
At state, Blaine students will compete against top BPA members from across Minnesota for a chance to advance to the National Leadership Conference in May in Orlando, Florida. Congratulations to all competitors on their achievements!
