The role of business education is to prepare students to succeed in a work environment where change is continuous, adaptability is essential, and computer competency is a requirement.  As business educations, we must help students broaden their horizons, acquire a business perspective, and apply technological knowledge.

The business education program will continue to promote communication skills, leadership, teamwork, self-management, decision-making, critical thinking, and interpersonal skills.  A continual goal of our department is to reinforce reading and writing and to develop a bridge between business and the core academic subjects.  Business courses are offered at the 6th, 7th and 8th grade levels.
