Lemont’s Junior Achievement organization annually builds a business from scratch. A student-led board creates a product, sells stock in the company and markets the product, with a goal of reaping dividends for its shareholders.

This year’s Junior Achievement board includes seniors Michael Tilly (President), Mykala Kunickis (Team Leader of Customer Service & Sales) and Noah Tienda (Team Leader of Supply Chain), and juniors Kevin Collins (Team Leader of Marketing) and Braden Vasvery (Team Leader of Finance).
