This past weekend, the Marlborough High School students Kyle Provost, Shayla Ramon and Joe Sullivan participated in the Massachusetts Business Professionals of America State Leadership Conference in Southbridge. Their hard work led to impressive top-three finishes, qualifying them for the national conference in Nashville this May.
Kyle achieved 1st place in Fundamental Accounting and 4th place in Interview Skills. Joe placed 3rd in Fundamental Accounting, while Shayla placed 2nd in Payroll Accounting.
In preparation for this event, the students studied and completed mock tests for weeks.
