The WDC High School chapter of the Business Professionals of America competed in the Minnesota Spring Leadership Conference. Thirteen will advance to the National BPA Leadership Conference in May.
Students in sixth through 12th grades from Cass, Crow Wing, Morrison, Todd and Wadena counties faced off against other teams Feb. 21-23 at Central Lakes College in Staples in a regional competition.
Almost two dozen Wadena-Deer Creek High School juniors and seniors were inducted into the National Honor Society's local chapter at a recent ceremony at the Memorial Auditorium.
More than half of the team’s seven competitors scored a top placing, even though only one of those students had ever previously competed in a speech competition, said team coach Renae Roth.
