As part of the completion of the entrepreneur course, enrolled students applied what they have learned throughout the year by opening their own business at the annual Wildcat Mall.

This year, thirteen students enrolled in the class got a taste of being a small business owner when the mall occurred on Friday, May 13, from 7:30a.m. to 2:30p.m.  A total of eight businesses were open for business, serving drinks, or selling tye dye or spirit shirts, among other items. “It’s a great way to wrap the class up and have the students apply what they have learned,  while also providing fun for all involved,” said business teacher Mrs. Kalp.
