On May 11, one of the two teams from State High that participated in the 10-week national Stock Market Game took home the first-place prize.

The Stock Market Game is a competition that teaches high school students stock market basics. It is an interactive simulation where critical thinking, decision making, cooperation, research, investing, and communication are essential for success. Students start with $100,000 in hypothetical money and “invest” it in stocks, bonds, and mutual funds. The team with the most money in their portfolio at the end wins the competition.
