Monroe High School senior Sven Wollschlaeger added to his already impressive business resume with a great showing at the 2017 Business Professionals of America National Leadership Conference, held May 9-14. He placed first in a field of 552 other students nationally in Administrative Support Concepts, while also placing fourth out of 369 students in Computer Programming Concepts. Wollschlaeger was also in the top three percentile in Merit Scholar competition at the conference.

Wollschlaeger, who plans on attending the University of Michigan Ross School of Business in the fall, is the president of the Monroe High School Class of 2017 as well as the National Honor Society. Wollschlaeger also was the recipient of a Congress of Future Science and Technology Leaders Academic Award of Excellence and was a scholar and researcher in the Leadership, Education, and Development (LEAD) Summer Business Institute.

Sophomore Anthony Levesque also did very well at the conference, placing second in the state and 29th in the nation in Personal Financial Management. Like Wollschlaeger, Levesque was also in the top three percentile in Merit Scholar competition at the conference.

"We are so proud of both Sven and Anthony," Said Monroe Public Schools superintendent Julie Everly. "Their success at such a high level is a true testament to their hard work and the quality of the programs and instruction we have in the district."
