Sophomore Dominic Panzo joined thousands of students and educators from around the country to compete, showcase their business skills, and develop their leadership portfolio at the 2019 Business Professionals of America National Leadership Conference in sunny Anaheim, CA.

Panzo competed in the Fundamentals of Spreadsheet Application; creating, formatting formulas etc. The conference prepares students for careers in business and information technology by giving students practical experience through application of the skills learned in their academic programs. Panzo is one of five students in the state to qualify for the National Leadership Conference Fundamentals of Spreadsheet competition.

Congressional Arts Contest awards ceremony held last night at the Columbus Museum of Art. Congressman Troy Balderson from Ohio's 12th District (at the microphone) announced Declan (in the blue tie) as the third place winner in the Congressional Arts Contest.

It was quite an honor for him as they had received hundreds of submissions of artwork from 20+ schools. Incidentally, his winning piece was the one that he was recognized nationally for earlier this year. 

He has also been inducted into the National Technical Honor Society.
