Hope Luker, senior at North, and Matt Parker, senior at Reitz, represented the EVSC recently on the awards stage at the Business Professionals of American National Competition in Anaheim, Calif., earlier this month.

 

Luker placed third in her event – Presentation Management – after competing against 42 winners from other states in the same category. As part of the competition, Luker developed her own health and wellness program and a plan to implement it in a business and presented both to a panel of judges.

 

Parker placed seventh in his event – Computer Security – after competing against 66 other high school students from across the country. As part of Parker’s event, he had to demonstrate knowledge of security management in Windows and Linux networking environments, including knowledge of security threats, infrastructure security, biometrics and a host of other areas.

 

In all, thirteen students from the EVSC competed in the national event.
