From the Presentation of Flags by our Law Enforcement and Correction Cadets to a powerful live National Anthem, it was a night to remember and we are so proud of their leadership and accomplishments.

This weekend, students from the Marketing & Entrepreneurship and Horticulture programs competed in the CEO Challenge Pitch Competition hosted by Junior Achievement.
Three teams represented our programs, pitching innovative business ideas they’ve been developing throughout the year.
Carliey Clack (Onsted) and Lexi Jarrell (Clinton) presented Track-Start-Smart, an influencer inventory management app designed to help content creators track, manage, and monetize the products they receive from brands.
Taylor McLaughlin (Sand Creek) and Brady Mullins (Sand Creek) pitched Great Lakes Native Seed Co., a business focused on providing native seeds to support local ecosystems and sustainable landscaping. Their strong performance earned them a spot in the semi-finals.
Declan Cornish (Tecumseh) and Brody Wenn (Clinton) took 1st Place, winning $1,000 with their concept WasteXchange, an AI powered app to help keep waste in the loop of production.
The competition was intense, requiring students to pitch multiple times in a bracket-style format. After starting the day in the lead, our teams slipped to 7th and 8th place out of 14 teams in round two. Instead of getting discouraged, they used the judges’ feedback between rounds to refine their presentations, strengthen their messaging, and come back stronger each time they stepped on stage.
What stood out most this weekend wasn’t just the results—it was the growth, resilience, and professionalism our students showed throughout the competition. Each team has developed a real business concept they hope to continue pursuing beyond this event.
To top it off, our teams were invited by State Representative Kathy Schmaltz to attend a Junior Achievement event at the Michigan Capitol this May to showcase their work.
We are incredibly proud of the hard work, adaptability, and entrepreneurial spirit these students demonstrated all weekend. The future of innovation is bright!
