Another school year comes to an end and we bid a fond farewell to yet another outstanding WAVE & Fellowship class. On May 4, 2018, students in the WAVE class presented their business ideas to our advisory board and received great feedback and guidance. Some will continue on with their business ideas while others will be working for nationally known companies. We salute our students and wish them the very best in their future endeavors. We also thank our board members who so graciously took the time to talk with our students and provide them with sound business advice.
We are pleased to share our WAVE & Fellowship class future plans with you!
