Our High School students were outstanding at the recent Junior Achievement (JA) Stock Market Challenge with two of our teams placing first and second out of 100 teams!

Deer Lakes seniors Wesley Reagle, Pierce Hayostek, AJ Balint and Keegan Landsberg placed first. Deer Lakes seniors Garrett Waybright, Luca Mangieri, Colby Sutch and Alex Godinez placed second.

48 students from the High School represented Deer Lakes at the Junior Achievement (JA) Stock Market Challenge, and there were more than 50 school districts and 530 students from nine counties represented.

For the event, teams of three to four students competed for real cash prizes and made strategic decisions about fictional stocks, current events, and trends in the market.
