Excellence through Ethics

Competition in business is stiff and may tempt behavior that will later be regretted.  However, Junior Achievement teaches students the right way to participate in our free enterprise system.  Integrity, respect and excellence are the values instilled through Excellence through Ethics.

During Excellence through Ethics, business leaders visit high school classrooms to share the message that in spite of the recent reports of accounting irregularities and business improprieties, business leaders with integrity contribute to the freedoms and benefits of our economic and political system. Using Junior Achievement's learn-by doing methodology, these business leaders will share basic values and beliefs and engage students in discussion on the role of ethics in their school life and in their own and personal business dealings.  If you would like your class to participate call the Junior Achievement office for more information.
