Team from Marinette Places First in the

Community Economic Exploration Project

Through this project, students gain an awareness of the economic realities in their local communities, while acquiring important skills that will serve them well in the global challenges of the 21st Century.  Student teams research and analyze the components of their local economic community by identifying various contributors to the economy. This is an opportunity for them to contact local leaders for input into the community's economic situation and potential. The students provide statistics and data-based information about the economic prospects of their communities, using the information that they have gathered to project how they see the community in the future.

First place team members were presented with award certificates and shared a cash prize of $750. Also receiving certificates and cash awards were teams from Nicolet High School, placing second, and Bangor High School, placing third.

Our congratulations to all students, and their advisors.
