- Junior Sarah Schafroth placed first in Client Services, advancing to the state competition.
- Junior Olivia Skowfoe competed in the Job Interview category.

FBLA works to prepare students to become community-minded business leaders through career preparation and leadership experiences.
FBLA recently accepted Schafroth and Smith as members of the New York State Future Business Leaders of America Honor Society. Membership is among the highest honors awarded to a high school member of NYS FBLA. The honor recognizes students who uphold academic excellence while displaying positive character, leadership and service.
“This is an honor that is well deserved,” Middleburgh Business teacher and club advisor Denise Colistra said. “Quin and Sarah are excellent students and great role models for their peers. I am very proud of them both and can’t wait to see what their future holds.”
Schafroth has been an active member of the school’s club for four years and currently serves as the club’s president. Smith has been an active member of the school’s club for four years and serves as the club’s vice president.
Smith and Schafroth will compete at the NYS FBLA State Leadership Conference this April in Rochester, New York. They will be recognized for their outstanding achievement during the conference.
