Barringer High School echoed with enthusiasm and energy on August 4th as the culmination of weeks of hard work and dedication was celebrated. Students, parents, peers, and members of the Newark Board of Education (NBOE) gathered to witness the incredible showcase of business ventures developed by these young entrepreneurs.

Throughout the summer, students embarked on a transformative journey, navigating the intricacies of business planning, building, and presentation. The Office of Bilingual's "Entrepreneurs on the Rise" curriculum, ignited students' passion for entrepreneurship, resulting in a stunning array of business ideas that ranged from socially conscious initiatives to glamorous ventures. Armed with newfound skills, knowledge, and a sense of determination, our students are ready to embark on their individual journeys of entrepreneurship, continuing to chase their dreams and make a lasting impact on the world.
