Mrs. Tracey Celaya, the Director of Career and Technical Education said, “Lawrence always sets high standards for his FBLA members. One example is when he implemented a Point System for the FBLA Members to follow. Based on the participation in community service, meeting attendance, and other FBLA projects, members earn points and those who have the highest points are able to attend events and travel. He does not just ask for students to be involved, his point system shows the kids how being involved pays off.”
