Clairemont's Academy of Business Students earn 1st and 2nd Place at Junior Achievement's Stock Market Challenge

Junior Achievement held their Stock Market Challenge on Tuesday, March 9th. This year over 150 student teams from all over the County participated in this simulated game. Students had to make trade decisions every 45 seconds for one hour based on current market values. These are the same true skills that stock brokers have to use every day in their professions. Clairemont’s Academy of Business students who are in the Business and Financial Markets class attended the challenge and had great success. The Academy teams finished first, second and fourth respectively. Clairemont’s business educator, Paul Barwill was extremely proud of his students and what they have accomplished despite the challenges that COVID and online learning has presented this year. Congratulations to the Academy of Business!
