In the final weekend of February 2024, Business Professionals of America (BPA) hosted their annual State Leadership Conference in Oak Brook, Illinois. McHenry's chapter competed against over 1,000 students from over 50 high schools. In their inaugural year as a club, 13 of our students made it on stage and ten students qualified for the National Leadership Conference in Chicago in May.
