ZT BPA
Our BPA program is offered to any student who elects to take any of Mrs. Thornton's (information technology pathway) or Ms. Black's (business pathway) classes. The cost to the student is $25 which covers the membership registration at the national, state, and regional levels. Then, if any event the chapter elects to attend throughout the year has a cost, the student has to pay those entry fees as well. If any student would like to join but cannot afford the registration cost please see your teacher. Our chapter each year focuses mostly on community service opportunities. However, since this is a student lead chapter whatever the chapter decides they are interested in doing Mrs. Thornton and Mrs. Black try their best to make it happen.
