Heartland kickstarted its FBLA program with a new sponsor, Heartland’s recently hired business teacher, James McCartney, this past week.
“I am very excited for the opportunity to take on the FBLA program here at Heartland Community Schools and build on the legacy established by the former sponsor Kristy Most! She did a great job of establishing the chapter and preparing these young leaders to compete at all levels. I look forward to seeing what these students can do this next year and hope we can earn an opportunity to travel to Florida!” said McCartney.
