E CITY was pleased to be at East Technical High School for its third entrepreneurship program!
We thank Principal Brian Register and we welcome newly-trained Certified Entrepreneurship Teacher, Susan St. Aubyn, to the E CITY team. Susan is a perfect fit for this mission- although she is a teacher at East Tech by day, she is an entrepreneur after hours, running her own cake baking and catering service.

She has been thrilled by the chance to share her passion for business creation with our students. We are grateful that our former CET, Sharon Baker, cared enough to introduce us to Susan, when she learned that she would be unable to teach our program this year.
The East Tech program was again fully funded by Scott Mueller and his company, Dealer Tire. All of the business plan coaches who worked one-on-one with the students were from Dealer Tire, as well. We applauded the hard work of the students and volunteers at the business plan competition and graduation on February 2.
Special congratulations to these student winners:
Ashley Thorpe $150 “Special Occasions”
Sade Williams $100 “Snacks by Sade”
Perez Smith $50 “LEOS”

| Thank you, Dealer Tire!

E CITY’s second entrepreneurship program at East Tech was taught by Sharon Baker, who was also an English teacher at the school. Fifteen budding young entrepreneurs participated and completed the program. Dealer Tire teamed up with E CITY to make this program possible by providing all of the needed funding, as well as volunteer guest speakers (including Dealer Tire’s CFO, Pete Waters), business plan coaches, and President Scott Mueller, as one of the competition judges
We thank the following volunteer “coaches” who helped students polish their business ideas in preparation for their presentations, and the judges who rated the presentations and gave feedback to the students

E CITY and East Tech teamed up for the first time in the fall of 2003, to deliver the E CITY program to a select number of students at East Tech. The instructor of the program was Sylvia Randolph. The principal of the school, Brenda Washington, was so pleased with the program that she invited E CITY and the top four students who graduated from the program to speak at a teacher/faculty seminar in February 2004. One student, Yasmeen Drake-El, even presented her entire business plan to an audience of over 40 people. |
