JRTC students Aaron Fertig and Derek Hanna placed first in the state of Virginia during the 2009 DECA Stock Market Game. This is the second year in a row that a team from JRTC has placed first in the state and qualified for the DECA international conference. The Stock Market Game program is America's premier educational stock market simulation. Available in all 50 states for students 4-12, the SMG program teached students core academic and investment skills. Individually, or in teams, students invest hypothetical $100,000 portfolio, choosing equities and mutual funds over a 10-week period.
