Student Organizations
Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA)
FBLA is a nationally known student organization offered at PCHS. Freshmen through seniors are encouraged to be a part of this exciting club. There is no class requirement for FBLA so anyone can join no matter what track they are on or what their class schedule looks like.
Through FBLA students can attend leadership conferences and compete in District Competition, and State Competitions. Students compete in a variety of events including (but not limited to) business law, economics, finance, marketing, website design, programming, word processing, public speaking, health care administration, and much more. There are over seventy events to choose from and the competitions are performed in a variety of methods. Some students take a written multiple-choice test while other students present in front of judges. Other competitions are report & research-based projects and others produced on a computer and sent in for judging. No matter what your student’s interests, there is something in FBLA that will fit well for them. Students compete first in a district competition. Then from there they can advance to the state competition. And finally, students can compete at nationals during the summer.
In addition to the competitions, students take part in community service as well as social activities. Occasionally, DECA and FBLA partner together for activities such as laser tag or bowling nights. We hope to see you in DECA, FBLA & Business, Marketing, and Computer Courses!
