Thanks to the work of the math department and leadership of Ms. Nelson, 18 students began training for the Junior Achievement Titan Challenge. This interactive program introduces high school students to various aspects of running a business. Students prepare to be the CEO of a cell phone company and make decisions that business executive space on a day-to-day basis. They learn about the impact of their decisions on finances, employees, consumers, and the community. As a culminating event, students will compete against schools across the state. Big thanks to our partners Junior Achievement of Maine and Mike Neff at RMD for making it a reality!
