Huron places in Virtual JA competition

Posted

On April 24, Huron High School students stepped into the role of CEOs of a cell phone company during the virtual JA Titan competition.

Eight teams from schools across the eastern part of the state took part in the event. The goal was to see who could sell the most cell phones in “16 quarters.”

Before the competition, students completed JA Titan in Mike Carda’s classroom, developing entrepreneurial spirit and business skills. Throughout the lessons, they gained experience making critical business decisions, from operations to marketing and corporate social responsibility.

Congratulations to the students on the winning teams:

• 1st Place: Washington High School “Team Lucy”
• 2nd Place: Washington High School “Team Mobile”
• 3rd Place: Huron High School “Team Straw Hat Pirates”

Junior Achievement would like to thank the Valley Queen Charitable Foundation for sponsoring the student event.

Junior Achievement provides hands-on programming in grades K-12 that connects what students are learning in the classroom to the real world. 

Volunteers from our community instruct students on personal and business principles that are relevant to their lives and are the foundation of financial stability and work readiness. Implementation of JA programming is made possible thanks to community volunteers and funds from businesses, individuals, foundations, and special events.
