Vail high schoolers to compete in New York City
Published on Monday, July 06, 2009
The “Bail Outs” from Vail High School was one of 10 teams to face off in the final round of a game of financial know-how in New York as part of a Junior Achievement competition.
The JA Banks in Action North American Competition ran from June 28 through July 1.
Geared to high school students, JA Banks in Action is intended to demystify finance by explaining how a bank works. While exposing students to banking basics, operations, and history, students learn about various career paths they can take in the financial services industry. A computer simulation allows student competitors to role-play as bank managers, challenging them to successfully operate a bank in a dynamic environment where their decisions will make or break their bank.
Vail High School is part of the Vail Unified School District.
