BPA is a co-curricular business club that further enhances our classes by providing students with a real-life, authentic learning environment that extends well beyond the classroom. BPA prepares students for the business world through the skills of leadership, citizenship, academic, and technology. One of the highlights of the organization are its leadership conferences, enabling students to network with both professionals and students, attend leadership workshops, and compete in events against other schools from around the area, state, and country in events based on the following business categories: Finance, Administration, Information Systems, Digital Communication, and Marketing.
