Donegal Students Qualify for FBLA Nationals

One of the many annual highlights for FBLA students at Donegal is the quest to compete at the state level.   Our club has been extremely successful in recent years as many students have earned competitive spots at the State Leadership Workshop.

This year, DHS FBLA sent 15 members to Hershey to compete against other high school students from throughout the state.  These students participated in business topic challenges covering approximately 60 subject areas ranging from Business Ethics to Marketing.

In each event, the Top 10 finalists are called on stage.  Of these finalists, the Top 3 place winners (in most cases) qualify to compete nationally.  During the most recent 5 years, Donegal has had several students place in the Top 10, with the highest earning a 4th place finish.

This year, our students proved that success is well within reach.  Rick Farmer placed 4th in Intro to Business and just missed a bid for nationals.  

The Managment Decision Making Team of Derek Frantz, Jake Martin, and Mason Fox, also finished 4th, but due to extenuating circumstances, were bumped up to 3rd PLACE!!!!!!!

Donegal has its first National Qualifiers!!!!

The National Conference will be hosted in Nashville, TN this summer from June 27 - July 3.

Should you wish to contribute to help our qualifiers pay for the conference, please make checks payable to

This Friday into next week, November 19-22, the Donegal FBLA club is sponsoring a food drive at DHS. Bring canned goods to donate to Water Street Rescue Mission. The homeroom with the most donations will receive a free pass. The free pass lets you get to the front of the lunch line for a week. So help support the DHS FBLA club and donate food to Water Street Rescue Mission during the holidays.

School Store Opens

One of the biggest objectives of the 2013-2014 Donegal FBLA chapter was to successfully open the Donegal school store, which gathered a thick layer of dust during the premier year of the new Donegal High School building after its completion in the summer of 2012.  After much careful planning, market research, and dedication, and the help of some vital connections, the officer team accomplished their task.  Just in time for the homecoming football game, “The Trading Post” hosted its grand opening with shelves and drawers packed full of t-shirts, sweatshirts, knit caps, and gym bags, and other green and white spirit-wear.  The Trading Post also features school supplies such as pencils and erasers.  More inventory will be purchased in time for the winter sports seasons, and a suggestion box sits inside the store for student customers to share their ideas.  Completely student run, the store operates in the mornings before school from 7:15 to 7:45 AM.  Students have created a Facebook page and Twitter account in order to keep Donegal students up-to-date on the Trading Post’s operations and new inventory. One hundred per cent of the profits benefit the Donegal Chapter of FBLA.

This operation is not possible without the dedication and support of the student body, the Donegal FBLA advisors, the Donegal administration, the inventory suppliers, and everyone else who helped the store or its founders in one way or another. Thanks for all of the help.
