Howe BPA at State Leadership Conference
The Howe Business Professionals of America chapter attended the 2026 Oklahoma BPA Spring State Leadership Conference, held March 2–4 at the Performing Arts Center in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
This conference is a required event for all BPA chapters to remain in compliance, and it also serves as a competitive event, with the closing ceremony recognizing top performers. While this year focused on learning and gaining experience, we are excited to share that Howe BPA plans to compete next year.
Students attending included:
Brick Cruse
Kambree McFarland
Katlynn Janway
Erica Vasquez
Harley Robertson
Braxton Adams
Tavin Steichen
Phoenix Waddle
The event kicked off with an incredible opening ceremony featuring keynote speaker and comedian Mark Robinson, who brought energy, humor, and a powerful message that resonated with our students.
Throughout the conference, students were encouraged to focus on perseverance, professionalism, and confidently stepping into their future. It was a meaningful reminder that success is built through mindset, effort, and the willingness to take advantage of opportunities.
It was rewarding to see our students engaged, inspired, and motivated for what lies ahead. Beyond the conference sessions, they also enjoyed exploring downtown Tulsa, participating in interactive activities, and spending time together at the movies.
A special thank you to BPA Advisor Mrs. Michaela Thompson for her leadership and for supporting our students throughout this experience.
We are proud of how our students represented Howe and look forward to seeing them take the next step into competition next year.

Your Lady Lions have spent the last 2 days at the Broken Bow festival to open their slowpitch season and went 2-2 against some tough competition. No breaks, no excuses — straight from a basketball state championship run right into slowpitch season. That says everything about this group’s toughness and heart. Just getting started… 🥎🔥 #HoweSoftball #BuiltDifferent #KappaHowe
The Howe Lion’s fuel pumps are now operational again.
Thank you for your patience while we worked to resolve the issue. We apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your business.
Fuel up and have a great day! 🦁
