Alexis Weber named A Junior League of Lancaster Business Plan Competition Finalist

Entrepreneurship students worked diligently throughout the first semester to create a new business.  Each student generated an idea, then used the Business Model Canvas established a business model to develop their idea into a full-fledged business opportunity.

After students finalized their business model, they were assigned to develop a formal business plan.  These documents averaged 12 pages and articulated the structure and development of each student's business plan.

Our Donegal High School Guidance Dept. sent out flyers to the business department that communicated the Junior League of Lancaster Business Plan Competition for high school girls.  Naturally, many girls, eying the $1,000 grand prize, wanted to participate.  Business plans from around the county were submitted and 10 finalists were chosen to participate in Round 2 of the competition.  It is with great honor that I can announce, Alexis Weber, as one of the 10 finalists.

We are so excited for Alexis and can't wait to her how Round 2 goes.  Join us in wishing Alexis luck for Round 2 of the competition.  Regardless of the outcome, we are all so very proud of Alexis for what she has already accomplished!
