Simon Struthers, a junior at Federal Way High School, placed fifth in the nation in the Desktop Programming Applications event at the Future Business Leaders of America’s summer National Leadership Conference in Atlanta.

This was Struthers’ first time competing in that event. He placed second in the category at the state event and fourth in Word Processing.

Struthers is the incoming FBLA chapter president. His chapter goals for this year are “to boost membership numbers and have a minimum of five student scholars compete at the state level.”
