Future Business Leaders of America is the oldest and largest business student organization in the world. Northtown has been a part of this organization for 6 years.
Northtown’s FBLA club is sponsored by Lonzo Boles, who is also a finance and business teacher.
Senior Stajheri Jackson has been in FBLA for three years. Jackson is also the President of FBLA.
“FBLA combines Business ethics, community service, and Education together,” said Jackson.
The students in the FBLA organization at Northtown are very involved in our community.
They have participated in Beautification Day and have cooked dinner for the Ronald McDonald House.
Students will also be participating in Christmas in the Park.
The FBLA students also participate in competitions. These competitions consist of making business plans, taking tests, or going to an interviewing session.
“If your interested in going into business, FBLA is for you,” said Jackson
Boles has been the sponsor for FBLA for six years, and it still amazes him how dedicated his students are.
“I’ve learned that student can do what they want to do,” said Boles.
