Student Achievement

Pt. Loma High School Economics and International Trade students have been successfully competing in the International Economic Summit (IES) program sponsored by the Federal Reserve Bank. IES is a world trade simulation for high school students, which teaches fundamental economic concepts within the context of international trade. Utilizing the experience-based learning model, the IES program challenges high school students to think critically about the benefits and costs of trade and to explore the multifaceted process of globalization. Throughout this 10-week curriculum, students work in teams as economic advisors to an assigned country, researching the social, political, and economic conditions in order to create a strategic plan to improve living standards for their population. Congratulations to Mary Jean del Campo and the students at PLHS.
