Huntington High School FBLA

10/09/2026

Today, some of our FBLA members had the opportunity to attend the BTR Communities Summit at Mountwest. We volunteered, connected with community leaders, and presented a workshop.
Our students shared their voices and perspectives on creating workplaces that are more trauma-responsive and supportive of survivors of domestic violence.
We're incredibly proud of these young leaders for speaking up about an issue that matters, and learning how they can be part of meaningful change.
Thank you to all of the community leaders and Branches for giving our students a seat at the table and the opportunity to make their voices heard.
Love shouldn't hurt. Stop the violence. End the silence. 💜

RED FLAG ALERT 🚩

Sometimes the warning signs aren't obvious. What starts as something small can become something much more serious.

Recognizing the red flags is the first step toward breaking the cycle.

Love shouldn't hurt. Stop the violence, end the silence.

We chose to support survivors of domestic violence for our FBLA community service program this year. 💜

Four members of our officer team had the opportunity to travel to WOWK 13 in Charleston to speak about the newly innovated Youth Advisory Board for the Chamber of Commerce located back in Huntington!

Many of these students are members of HHS FBLA! Congratulations!

The Huntington Regional Chamber of Commerce is proud to announce the appointment of 12 local students to the inaugural Youth Advisory Board, a new initiative designed to give Cabell and Wayne County high school students a voice in shaping the future of the Huntington region while developing leadership and professional skills.

Youth Advisory Board members will engage with local business and community stakeholders, enhance the image of the Huntington area through digital storytelling, develop leadership skills and gain exposure to career pathways throughout the region.

The 2026 Youth Advisory Board includes:

· Scarlett Ball – Huntington High School
· Saya Cook - Huntington High School
· Maekaylee Criss – Huntington High School
· Camila Cross – Huntington High School
· Colette Dickerson – Huntington High School
· London Donahoe – Huntington High School
· Kahlil Felder – Huntington High School
· Briley Gilliland – Huntington High School
· Ella Kinsey - Huntington High School
· Carter Miller – Covenant School
· Addyson Smith – Spring Valley High School
· Sam Tigchelaar – Huntington High School

Megan Archer, President & CEO of the Chamber, said the idea for the Youth Advisory Board began when West Virginia FBLA State President London Donahoe and recent Huntington High School graduate Jenna Lindsay approached the Chamber about creating a program that would better connect young people with the local business community.

“We are excited to begin working with these twelve outstanding student-leaders,” Archer said. “Our regional youth deserve a seat at the table, and their voices deserve to be heard. Today’s students are tomorrow’s workforce, entrepreneurs, educators, healthcare professionals, and community leaders. By giving them hands-on opportunities to connect and contribute, we’re helping build a stronger future for our region.”

Huntington High School Future Business Leaders of America’s history-making trip to the National Leadership Conference has concluded.

London Donahoe and Maekaylee Criss placed 9th nationally for their presentation in the Local Chapter Business Report, something no Huntington High School student has ever accomplished. With over 13,000 attendees, this is a significant achievement.

Our chapter co-president, London Donahoe, represented our state on the national stage and at the regional meeting, highlighting newly established initiatives and successes.

All of our members competed, attended workshops, and learned from entrepreneurs and national leaders. In between meetings, sessions, and competitions, we were able to explore downtown San Antonio, visit the Alamo, interview social media star and real estate broker, Jamie Zapata, and enjoy plenty of froyo.

We couldn’t be more appreciative of every supporter, donor, parent, and chaperone who made this all possible. Opportunities like these can truly change the trajectory of students’ lives and it wouldn’t be possible without you!
