Benjamin Logan BPA Students Shine at Ohio State Leadership Conference

Thirteen members of the Benjamin Logan High School Business Professionals of America (BPA) chapter recently showcased their skills at the Ohio BPA State Leadership Conference, held March 10–11 at the Columbus Convention Center.

Reflecting on the experience, sophomore Lydia Johnson shared, “My experience was lovely. I liked being a voting delegate after competing.
