The Lumpkin chapter of the Future Business Leaders of America is a Career and Technical Student Organization that helps our members prepare for careers in business. However, our chapter prides itself on the networking and friendships that occur in our members as we study for objective tests, practice speaking tips for live events, travel to Athens, Atlanta, and beyond for leadership conferences, and most importantly, have fun.
The FBLA at LCHS enjoys continued success and earned Gold Chapter, Superior Chapter and #6 in the state!
In Region competition, LCHS had 27 students score in the Top 10 with 20 of those students advancing to compete at the state level.
