Titan Challenge

For the fourth straight year Regina participated in the Junior Achievement Titan Scholarship Challenge. Not only was this the fourth straight year of Regina participating but also the fourth straight year that Regina has swept all four scholarships. This year, Ryan Miller and Gracie Larew won first place and each came away with $1500 scholarships to the school of their choice. Kathryn Tvedte and Madison Murhammer placed second and each will receive $750 scholarships to school of their choosing. The Annual Titan Challenge matches  local students up with mentors who are area business leaders to participate in a simulation putting the students in the role of CEO of business. Awards are won for achieving the highest scores based on production, sales, marketing, charitable givings, research/development and Capital Investment. Congratulations to the students and their teacher, Patrick Moeller.
