LEXINGTON, Ky. — A Frederick Douglass High School student placed seventh in Sports & Entertainment Management at the Future Business Leaders of America National Leadership Conference, earning recognition for Lexington at the prestigious national competition held last month.
Preston Wang competed in the June 29-July 2 event in San Antonio, Texas. Classmate Jillian Downey also represented the school, earning finalist recognition in the Visual Design category. The Frederick Douglass High School FBLA chapter earned Gold Champion Chapter recognition under the guidance of adviser Bradley Scroggin.
The FBLA is a nonprofit education association dedicated to inspiring and preparing students to become community-minded business leaders in a global society through career preparation and leadership experiences. The San Antonio gathering drew more than 16,000 middle and high school students, educators, and volunteers from across the country for competition, education, and networking opportunities.
The national conference capped a strong year for the school’s business students. In May, Frederick Douglass earned multiple top finishes at the Kentucky FBLA state competition, positioning team members to qualify for nationals, according to the Fayette County Public Schools website.
Wang’s seventh-place finish represents the culmination of extensive preparation through the school’s chapter. The competition spans 55 different events across business, finance, marketing, and technology disciplines, with students competing after qualifying through state-level competitions earlier in the spring.
