Three Dobie High School Marketing students attended an innovative summer program called EntrePrep, at Hebron Academy in Hebron, Maine.  This was a week long residential program that educates students in project based hands-on entrepreneurial experiences. 

Jennifer Hugghins, Mallorie Hoke, and Janet Delgado joined 25 students across the nation as they participated in this entrepreneurship pilot program sponsored by the National Council on Economic Education.  The focus was on teaching how to start and run their own businesses.  Classes included presentations, case studies, team exercises, hands on activities and projects.

The EntrePrep program has plans to continue the EntrePrep Summer Institute next year with sponsorship coming through the Texas Council on Economic Education.

“This was a great opportunity for my students to attend this intensive entrepreneurial training and I know they will benefit from the skills learned,” said Karen Daigle, Marketing teacher at Dobie High School.
