WOW! What a Sunday for our four Samohi student entrepreneurial teams participating in the 6th Annual High School Business Plan Competition held yesterday at the Price Center for Entrepreneurial Studies at UCLA Anderson School of Management. Our teams swept it!
Three Samohi ROP student business teams took the top three prizes in the category of “Existing On-Campus Businesses” and the fourth ROP team took first place prize in the category of “New On-Campus Business”. Collectively the teams were awarded $2,750 of prize money to invest in their businesses. The students have been working with their instructors and their business and university mentors mornings, noon, nights and weekends for months and their dedication and commitment paid off in their results!
If you know these students, please congratulate them for their exceptional accomplishments this weekend.
