Read below how our Investor Education grant played a key role in student's academic learning at El Dorado High School!📚📖

Ms. Duncan's Accounting II students and others across campus have participated in the stock market game this semester. We are 📈 Growing Future Wildcat Investors! 🐾
El Dorado High School is bringing the stock market to life! Thanks to support from the Arkansas Securities Department and additional funding from our district, EHS has installed a large stock ticker in our cafeteria/commons area with real time stock data—reaching all 1,300 students during every lunch shift.

From real-time market updates to hands-on learning, our students are building financial literacy skills that will last a lifetime. This spring, student teams took on the Stock Market Game, gaining valuable experience in investing, decision-making, and economic awareness—and we’re just getting started!

Conversations about stocks, markets, and money are happening daily across campus. Next year, we’re excited to expand and get even more students involved!

Huge thank you to our partners that made this project happen with a grant written by Mrs. Jackie Phillips, CTE Lead Teacher from the Arkansas Securities Department, ESD district support and to our students for embracing this opportunity.

Together, we are “Growing Future Wildcat Investors!”
