At the 2025 State Leadership Conference, Career and Technical Education Center teacher Dave Loosli was also named Texas BPA Advisor of the Year.

Through Business Professionals of America, students gain practical experience through the application of the skills learned at school. BPA helps students prepare for careers in business by offering exercises based on national standards.

The Career and Technical Education Center’s BPA chapter is open to Centennial and Emerson students. The other high school campuses have their own chapters.
