CEO is about getting you to think outside the box and to deal with situations that are outside of your comfort zone. The CEO students are challenged with being creative to create a class business. Yes, they are students that have a lot of responsibility put onto them and they have to figure things out on together as a group.

This past Saturday the Pike County CEO Class of 2025 put their hard work to the test with their Fall Trivia Night. They had set high goals for themselves and found out the amount of work that goes into pulling off an event like this. They learned several great lessons together, but none greater than the need to communicate with each other. I have no doubt that these kids are going to take all the lessons they learned from the event and make their personal businesses AMAZING!!!

Thank you to all that came out to support these kids and their trivia night. Thank you to Hopewell Winery for providing the great dinner, to the Crossroads Center in Pittsfield for providing the location, and thank you to all that generously donated gift baskets and gift cards for the silent auction. Stay tuned for the great businesses that these kids create for themselves!! Pike CEOMidland Institute for Entrepreneurship
