Smithson Valley High Student Store

The purpose of our store is to teach students what real life business is about, along with the risk, successes, and experience it brings in the real world. With the assistance of teachers who have extensive business backgrounds, the students are primed to obtain as much real world knowledge as possible to prepare them in their future career paths.

All of our sales go towards making the store better with new products and keeping items in stock.

The student store is run entirely by students who have completed an introductory course in various business classes offered at Smithson Valley High School and are ready to take the next step to implement their knowledge with project management skills into our future careers. 

The students design products and negotiate with vendors about sales. This gives the students retail operation experience in a workplace and finances. 

The lessons learned are invaluable and will help us in the future with the diverse careers we pursue.
