Heartland Community School Release
Huge congratulations to Tara Buzek and Austin Schmidt — National Champions in the LifeSmarts FBLA Challenge at the 2025 National Leadership Conference in Anaheim, California!
After qualifying as one of the top 24 teams in the nation through the Fall and Spring online challenges, Tara and Austin advanced to the live competition at NLC, where they faced off against the best teams from across the country.
The national format tested their knowledge in personal finance, consumer rights, technology, health & safety, and the environment through fast-paced rounds of questions and real-life scenarios. Their teamwork, quick thinking, and preparation paid off — they brought home the national title!
We are incredibly proud of these two outstanding leaders!
