Future CEO Competition

St. Mary School eighth-grade students participated in an event known as Future CEOs the week of March 22. Teams of students created their own companies and developed products. After many weeks of research and development, the students were ready to sell their products. Holding a Facebook Live event, the companies presented their products and marketed them to the live audience.

Examples of products being sold were custom facemasks from The Crazy Clothing Company by founders and owners Andrew T., Luke G., Xander M. and Brady C.; handcrafted candles made in recyclable jars from KC Candles by founders and owners Claire D., Csillia S., Katie T. and Katie B.; and De La Fragrance, which offers mask spray infused with essential oils to not only provide a fresh scent, but also stress relief, by founder and owner Joey R. These are just a few of the amazing companies developed by St. Mary’s future CEOs.

Next month they will present their business plan to a panel of entrepreneurs. One company will be chosen to move to the next level of competition called Catapult at St. Ignatius
