My students are simply the best and I could not be more proud of them. Please congratulate them on their hard work and their accomplishments today. Also, a big thank you to their business advisers: Tim Shepherd, Owner - Velocity; Tom Preston - IBM; Dan Szendrey - Diebold. Their time and guidance are sincerely appreciated!
Both groups will apply to move on to compete nationally. The JA Titan group will try for a 3-peate, as we are currently two year national champions in that competition!
