The Business and Information Technology courses will enable students to investigate opportunities in business, prepare for entry and advancement on the job, develop management skills, and identify further education and training necessary within a chosen career cluster. The curriculum for Business and Information Technology not only meets current technological advances in computer applications, systems, and communications but also presents opportunities to learn about economics and finance, accounting, law, and management.

The Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA) is the Career and Technical Education student organization designed to develop personal employability and leadership skills for all individuals enrolled in business and information technology courses. Through participation in the organization, business and information technology students learn to engage in individual and group business enterprises, to hold office and direct the affairs of a group, to work with representatives of other student organizations, and to compete honorably with their colleagues.

To affiliate and participate in FBLA activities sponsored by the state and national organizations, business and information technology students must hold paid membership in the local FBLA chapter at his/her high school. There are approximately 275 middle and high school students who hold membership in FBLA for the 2004-2005 school year.
