Bainbridge sent eight students to the Future Business Leaders of America national conference

More than 9,380 of the country’s best and brightest high school students traveled to Atlanta, Georgia in June to attend the Future Business Leaders of America National Leadership Conference.

The students connected with top future business leaders and showcased their talents as they competed for the opportunity to win more than $179,000 in cash awards.

Charlie Hanacek, a 2016 Bainbridge High School graduate, brought home second place for his adroitness in the Cyber Security category.

“FBLA has given me so much more than I could have known,” Hanacek said. “Looking back, it really brightened my high school experience.”

Ryan Cox and Nick Shiach, also from BHS, received third place in Sports and Entertainment Management.

“As usual, Bainbridge did an excellent job,” advisor Kim Rose said.

“Our students competed in five events and brought home two top 10 awards. I’m so proud of all our BHS chapter members who competed throughout the year. They always do a great job representing BHS and their community,” she said.
