Congrats to our seniors participating in the CEO program as they learn valuable entrepreneurial skills for their future. The CEO class meets five days a week off campus for 90 minutes a day and is a year-long, two credit high school course. Local businesses who would like to support the CEO program, please get in touch with Mr. Ben Eberwein at benton.eberwein@gmail.com or check the website for details. https://www.collinsvilletriadmaryvilleceo.com/?fbclid=IwAR2VnkM_oJr7zia6ueU2U8Z_idqp94qFyzFdYGYZhcTnIC8sV_ZOdHnOI8s "Entrepreneurship education seeks to prepare people, especially youth, to be responsible, enterprising individuals who become entrepreneurs or entrepreneurial thinkers and contribute to economic development and sustainable communities. The CEO program is much more than a textbook course. Rather, students are immersed in real life learning experiences with the opportunity to take risks, manage the results, and learn from the outcomes." https://www.facebook.com/collinsvilletriadmaryvilleceo
