According to the President of Junior Achievement of the Michigan Edge, Connie Poisson, the teachers, Derek Huntley and Steve Weller, who coached “Apollo Enterprises,” “have been selected to receive the 2017 JA educator of the year Award for Jackson County.”

“It was a nice surprise to be selected as junior achievement teacher of the year for Jackson County and was not expected.” Huntley said in response to winning educator of the year.
According to Mr. Weller "there are a couple of events coming up in the summer. One being the OiChallengeU which is a two week opportunity to explore real life problem/solution situations for businesses."

Finally, when asked if he had any advice for students who might be interested in participating in future events such as the CEO challenge Mr. Huntley had this to say, “take a chance and try something that will challenge and engage you.”
