The trio of Benjamin Moorhouse ’26, Jet Dickerson ’26, and Ethan Na ’26 conquered their opponents at the Ithaca College High School Stock Market Competition and took top prize. “The competition was fun and challenging, specifically due to the negative returns of the overall market due to recent world events,” said the group. “As a team, we beat the market by more than 100% (the market returned -19% while we returned 87%). We all find predicting the market to be interesting and a challenge and doing it as a team made it more fun during discussions.”
At Germantown Academy, students are challenged, supported, and engaged in a multitude of ways that lead to a transformational learning experience. They graduate as individuals who are capable of achieving far more than they had ever imagined.
