A team of exceptional Dublin High School 12th Graders demonstrated their financial savvy, ranking second out of 44 teams in the Georgia Council of Economic Education's Stock Market Game. With an impressive net equity gain of $25,934.36, the team competed in the 12th Congressional District – High School Region, showcasing their knowledge and teamwork over an intense 10-week competition.

Under the expert guidance of Mr. Noromo Stanley, the team of Johnathon Cravey, Gabriel Ducket, FenQuan Evans, Rashad Hutchins, and Maya Stribling participated in the hands-on simulation, investing a virtual $100,000 in real stocks, bonds, and mutual funds. “The Stock Market Game is really important because it connects what students learn in the classroom and what happens in the real world,” said Mr. Stanley. “Generally, when you’re teaching a subject like Economics, most students find it really difficult to understand. But when you bring hands-on activities like this, it helps them acquire more capabilities while equally increasing their desire for the subject.”

Designed for students in 4th through 12th Grade, the Stock Market Game fosters financial literacy and introduces students to the fundamentals of investing. “We had a bit of background, as some of us previously invested in stocks,” said Johnathon Cravey. “So, we already knew how to watch the market, how to buy, and when to sell, which gave us a leg up during the competition.” However, the team ultimately attributes their success to keeping a close eye on current events, studying the stock market, and leveraging insights from leading investment websites and seasoned traders. Describing their diligent approach, Rashad Hutchins explained, “Every day we were looking. We monitored what stocks to buy and what to sell. So, to find out we came in second place was really exciting. We’re really happy about it.” In fact, the second-place team is eager to continue applying their skills and has signed up to participate in the upcoming Spring Session of the Stock Market Game.
