Monroe High School junior Darian Reed was a top-10 nationalist finalist in the Business Professionals of America (BPA) National Leadership conference held recently in Anaheim, Cal. Darian, who also is president of the Monroe High School BPA chapter, earned his national finalist medal in Access Database. Active in robotics at MHS, he also plans to run for state BPA office next year. “Darian is a fine young man and did a wonderful job in the national competition to rank as highly as he did. We’re very proud of him. He was a fine representative of Monroe High School,” said his BPA advisor and MHS teacher Mrs. Joni Weaks.
