Soar High students showcase entrepreneurship projects; school to host conference Tuesday
Summary
Students from Soar High School presented an entrepreneurship unit to the board. The business department described a conference scheduled for the following morning featuring 34 student teams, about 100 students in attendance, and a community voting and Shark Tank–style competition.
Students and teachers described a week‑long entrepreneurship unit and invited the public to attend a student-run entrepreneurship conference the next morning.
The board called on Mr. Richards from the business department to describe the work: students completed a five‑day business plan unit and produced trifold business presentations. Mr. Richards said, “We have 34 groups in total ... there’s gonna be about a 100 students there,” and outlined a morning schedule (8:30–10:30 a.m.) that includes voting by attendees and a Shark Tank‑style final for top teams. Aurora Relev, a Soar High School senior, also spoke briefly about the personal and educational impact of the program.
Administrators thanked community partners — including the Vilas County Economic Development Corporation — for supporting the event and noted student competition successes tied to SkillsUSA and the finance bowl. The district encouraged community members to attend the conference and to vote for their top three teams during the public voting session.
No board action was required on the presentation; the program was recognized and commended.
