Student Testimonials
"The CEO Program has changed my life. I learned many valuable lessons about the business and real world from many leaders in our community. I am more confident with myself. I learned to never give up and keep moving forward. Connections are the key in any career field. Now, I know I want to be involved with business as I'm getting older. CEO has created a foundation for my future endeavors. I couldn't be any more grateful that I had the opportunity to participate in such an amazing experience! Thank you CEO for everything and good luck to the next participants!"

The CEO class has taught me how to be a more beneficial and efficient leader for our community. In addition, it has brought many exciting learning experiences and has given me a better outlook for the future of myself being involved in the community. Not all businesses come in a can, a business must adapt to its marketing area with supply and demand.

CEO isn’t just a class; it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that I am honored to be a part of.

Mariah BushueCEO Student Class of 2015
From local business visits to planning the class business, I have learned so much from various advice and our own experiences; the good and bad. I went from being a regular high school kid to a future entrepreneur envisioning my own business. Without CEO it would not have been possible.

Amber QuastJasper CEO Class of 2015
The first semester of CEO has been beyond amazing. I have learned so much about myself and others. Visiting businesses around Jasper County has opened my eyes and shocked me over and over again. I have met so many amazing people through CEO. I feel that I have grown up so much over the past four months and I wouldn’t change my experience for anything.

Gift Planning
Whether you want to support our mission today or design a plan that benefits students after your lifetime, you can feel good knowing that you are shaping the future. Once called "deferred giving" or "planned giving", gift planning refers to any charitable gift that requires more thought and planning to execute than the average donation.
