All are invited to see what CEO is all about!!

Today is the day—and I couldn’t be more proud of these students.

Over the past nine months, they’ve done more than just start businesses. They’ve figured things out. They’ve pushed through challenges. They’ve become resourceful in ways you can’t teach from a textbook.




One student earned her cottage license to bring her product to life. Another taught herself how to sew from scratch to build her business. That’s the kind of grit, creativity, and determination that defines this group.

This tradeshow is the result of months of hard work, growth, and real-world experiences. From handshake etiquette to business plans, from ideas to execution—they’ve done it all.

If you stop by today, you’re not just seeing products—you’re seeing what happens when students are given the opportunity to lead, create, and take ownership.

So proud of each and every one of them. 🧡🖤
