Upton FBLA Celebrates National Championship with School Board
The Upton High School FBLA chapter recently had the opportunity to share one of the greatest accomplishments in the history of Upton FBLA with the Upton School Board, the chapter’s National Champion Chapter recognition at the 2026 FBLA National Leadership Conference in San Antonio, Texas.
Upton FBLA members attended the national conference June 29–July 3 and proudly represented Upton High School, Weston County, and the state of Wyoming on the national stage. Out of five thousand FBLA chapters across the country, Upton FBLA was recognized as a 1st Place National Champion Chapter, an achievement that brought tremendous pride to our school and community.
During the school board meeting, FBLA members had the opportunity to personally thank the board for its continued support of FBLA and for helping make opportunities such as the national conference possible. Students spoke about what FBLA has taught them—not only about business and leadership, but also about communication, teamwork, responsibility, confidence, service, and giving back to their community.
“This championship belongs to more than just the students who traveled to San Antonio,” said FBLA Adviser Mrs. Karla J. Ludemann. “It represents the dedication of our members, the support of our families, our school, our community, and our school board. We are incredibly grateful for everyone who helped make this experience possible.”
Throughout the year, Upton FBLA members completed numerous community service and leadership projects, including supporting the Upton Food Bank, honoring veterans and first responders, participating in Adopt-a-Highway, helping with community events, supporting local organizations, and completing projects that strengthened their leadership and business skills.
The national conference also provided students with an opportunity to meet FBLA members from across the country, develop professional skills, compete and learn from other young leaders.
Several Upton students received special recognition at the national conference. Karstyn Garcia was recognized as a Wyoming Who’s Who recipient, while Lilly Jackson the 2026-2027 President received the Champion Chapter award. Mrs. Ludemann was also honored with the FBLA Advisor Wall of Fame and a 20-Year Advisor Award for her years of dedication to FBLA.
The Upton FBLA chapter is grateful to the Upton School Board for believing in its students and investing in opportunities that allow them to learn, lead and represent Upton on a national level.
The students returned from San Antonio with more than a national championship. They returned with confidence, memories, friendships, leadership experience and a renewed understanding of what can happen when a group of young people works hard toward a common goal.
Upton FBLA is proud to bring the National Champion Chapter title home to Upton and to share this accomplishment with the entire community.

Coding Robots: Computer Science in Action
In Introduction to Computer Science, students are discovering that coding is more than just typing instructions on a computer—it can make things move, think, and respond!
Through hands-on robotics activities, students write code that tells robots what to do. They learn how to give precise instructions, solve problems, test their programs, and make changes when something doesn’t work the first time.
Coding robots helps students develop important skills such as critical thinking, creativity, teamwork, communication, and perseverance. A small mistake in the code can send a robot in the wrong direction, but students learn that mistakes are part of the process. They test, troubleshoot, and try again.
The classroom quickly becomes a place where students are not just learning about computer science—they are doing computer science. Each successful robot movement is a small accomplishment and a reminder that with creativity and persistence, students can turn their ideas into reality.
