The Rock Hills FBLA chapter earned a Top 10 placing at the virtual National FBLA Leadership Experience held in late June. Karrigan Dunstan wrote the 15-page report detailing the chapter's partnership with the Jewell County VFW Auxiliary.

In August 2019, the chapter approached the auxiliary about partnering on several projects throughout the year with the intent of each of the partners providing skills and knowledge to one another. Although Karrigan wrote the report, it is actually considered a "chapter" project so in reality the chapter was the recipient of the award.

The report detailed the development, implementation, and evaluation of the project and received eighth place at the national competition. This year, placings were determined only by the actual submitted report. The initial goal of the chapter was to place either first or second at state, thereby earning the opportunity to go to nationals; place in the finalist category at nationals; and then have Karrigan give a presentation about the activity in front of judges at nationals.

Rock Hills FBLA continues to show that with hard work, dedication, and utilizing skills learned in school, it can compete with large and small schools from across the country.
