Chagrin Falls High School students proudly represented the Greater Cleveland Junior Achievement region at the national Future Bound competition in Boston, held at Boston University. Future Bound showcased the talents and achievements of young entrepreneurs and innovators nationwide. The event featured four dynamic competitions, each highlighting the ingenuity and creativity of over 300 students.
After winning the fall 2025 Greater Cleveland Junior Achievement Market Challenge at the Cleveland Federal Reserve, Westley Quintin (Class of 2026), Johnathan Tenebria (class of 2028), and Benjamin Havas (Class of 2028) from John Bakalar’s Financial Literacy class qualified and competed against teams from across the country in the Junior Achievement National Stock Market Challenge, finishing an impressive 9th out of 33 teams.
While in Boston, students connected with professionals, visited companies, and gained valuable exposure to careers in business and finance while also exploring the city. Students' airfare and lodging were covered thanks to a generous scholarship provided by Junior Achievement National Organization.
We are proud to celebrate the Chagrin Falls High School team representing JA of Greater Cleveland at the national level for the third year in a row.
