Rock Hill High Scores National Win
Congratulations to members of the RHHS Business Professionals of America (BPA) organization who recently competed against 6,000 students from 23
states May 8-12 in the National Leadership Conference in Orlando. Members
of “Love at First Bite”—Allison Cooke, Drew Bridges, Caitlin Yasika, Justin
Horne, and Tyler Wilk—won the national award in the Fair Trade Challenge.
In this challenge, students had to create their own business and
“develop an operating plan and organizational structure to initiate a Fair
Trade Business.” Students had to set up a booth for their business and
compete with others to sell products. In addition, senior Justin Horne was a
top 10 finalist in the entrepreneurship competition.
Elated advisor, Jennifer Molnar, stated: “I am so proud of my business
students. They represented the ROCK with great professionalism and made
a name for S.C. at the BPA national level. Their outstanding performance at
the NLC (National Leadership Conference) was a direct result of their dedication,
passion and entrepreneurial skills.”
