CEO Challenge.

On March 11th 2017, Students of Junior Achievement in the Jackson Michigan area attended 2017 CEO Challenge at Baker College of Jackson.

The Challenge took place in a concept very similar to the hit ABC TV show, Shark Tank. The idea behind the CEO Challenge is to encourage young entrepreneurs. It’s a pooled high school project coordinated by the Jackson Area and it’s community partners, and is also funded by the Hurst Foundation.

Teams from all over Jackson Area schools, have been working diligently since January in hope of a win. With the help and support of Jackson Area mentors, local entrepreneurs and even educators.

Western High School’s “Apollo Enterprises” team took away first place in this years CEO Challenge. The team consisted of Preston Christoff, Caleb Whiting, Tristan Keller, and Charlie Davenport. Second place went to Jackson High’s “Tritan and Atlas” team of Harriet Marshallsay, Rohitha Polasani and Keaton Sharp. Third place was awarded to Lumen Christi’s “Seraph” which consited of Geraldine Berkermier, Collen McDonnell, TJ McCully and Josh Glick.

Congratulations to Jackson's future entrepreneurs!
