Students take us on a journey
Students pitch food court as part of project-based learning experience
Seniors in the Economics/Political Science class participate in Project Based Learning units where they use economic principles to answer real world questions. In the “Food Court” unit the students are asked to choose five of 12 restaurants who have applied to be part of their high school food court. Students are expected to know demand, revenue, cost, profit, and opportunity cost in order to choose their five restaurants effectively. Each group presents their choices to staff volunteers who act as the "school board."
