HUBBARD, Ohio– Students in Hubbard High School’s photography and digital media class are learning what it takes to be an entrepreneur. For years the graphic design class has included creating a logo and merchandise for a business. Art teacher, Josh MacMillan, is now expanding the project.
Students are now learning more of the specifics of running a business including thinking about storefront floor plans, logistics for providing goods and services, interviewing local business leaders about entrepreneurship, and achieving financial literacy.
“I thought if I was going to start a business at age 40, let’s say I want to stop at 60. That’s 20 years of having a business,” MacMillan says. “What could that have meant if I were to learn this stuff when I was 15 or 16? Or at least have the idea of it?”
