After competing at the FBLA State Leadership Conference in March, fourteen hard-working, determined students from Cinco Ranch High School secured a spot in the top four in their respective competitions and were given the opportunity to represent the Cinco Ranch High School chapter and the state of Texas at the Future Business Leaders of America’s National Leadership Conference in San Antonio.

Among thousands of other competitors from across the nation, four students managed to fight their way to the top marking 2026 as one of Cinco’s best performances and the team members as Cinco champions. Blazing the trail, Lucas Chen placed tenth in data science and AI while Naitik Patel earned eighth place in “Intro to Information Technology.” David Disanto achieved seventh place in [personal finance and Anika Das struck gold, claiming first place in “Intro to Marketing Concepts.”

When the Cinco students weren’t exploring the wondrous city of San Antonio, they were at the Henry B. González Convention Center attending insightful, business-centric workshops and trading pins with other fellow future business leaders, utilizing their business tactics to secure the best pins.
