In Memphis, we were thrilled to take part in the inaugural Junior Achievement of Memphis and the Mid-South JA Stock Market Challenge, where students from Craigmont High School, Mitchell High School, and The Official Southwind High School Community stepped into the exciting world of stock trading. In this fast-paced, friendly competition, students made real-time decisions, managed portfolios, and got a hands-on crash course in how the stock market works. Congratulations to Southwind High School, whose teams claimed the top two spots with a net worth of $1,624,307.88 and an amazing 61.43% ROI! Meanwhile, in Chattanooga, our staff joined the JA in a Day program, a meaningful opportunity to inspire and educate the next generation.
