Hosted by Junior Achievement of Memphis and the Mid-South and presented by Wells Fargo and Donnell Cobbins, Jr. Futures Trust, with education sponsorship from New York Life, the JA Stock Market Challenge is a fast-paced simulation that condenses 60 days of stock trading into just 60 minutes. Students must react to market conditions, analyze financial information, and make rapid investment decisions while working together under pressure.
Team 901Spunk members Mark Moore Jr., Cedric Tate, Marcaleb Henderson and London Fletcher made history as the first-ever team to represent Memphis and the Mid-South at the national event. Competing against top teams from across the country, these students brought the grit and determination of the 901 to the national stage. The experience extended far beyond competition, giving students the courage to compete and the opportunity to learn from business leaders, connect with peers from across the country, and explore the opportunities their futures can hold.
The students were guided by Angela Higgs Monie, personal finance teacher at Southwind High School, whose instruction and encouragement helped prepare the team for success. Their achievement reflects not only individual talent but also the value of career-connected learning experiences that equip students with real-world financial and professional skills.
