Business Week 2025

Washington Business Week will be held from February 24 - February 28 for all junior students (including Running Start Students).  For one full and exciting week, students and some faculty members will be engaged in a non-traditional discovery learning experience called Washington Business Week.  Running Start students who have questions about their involvement should contact either Ms. Greene or Ms. Ranger at Montesano High School.

Small “companies” of students will operate their own business for eight virtual quarters, solving the problems small businesses encounter with growth, production, and demand.  Through our hands-on approach, students will gain a vision of how math, science, English, technology, history, art and other curriculum will apply to their life after high school.  In turn, they may be more inclined to excel in these subjects once they have actually applied them to these “real life” situations.

Our final Yearbook sales period for this school year is now open through February 3, 2025! Yearbooks are $75 and you can make your purchase online at the Bulldog Online Store or by paying cash/check at the MHS Bookkeeping Office. Typically, we get a few over-run books from the publisher to cover for damaged books and we try to sell them if they are available but there is no guarantee that we will have any extra copies at the end of the year when books are distributed. Please make sure to buy your Yearbook now to ensure your student gets their copy in June.

Senior Celebration and Business Ads:

 The final date for ad purchases will also be February 3, 2025.  You must have the photos and artwork for your ad submitted by this date.
