A Step towards a Business with Technology

Looking towards being a business leader in the future? At SJHS, Ms. Josie Jarvis, the business teacher, is offering a computer business class. As you know, many businesses involve the use of the computer, although the programs may vary. The computer business class is only offered in the second semester.

"Computers in Business is a class that teaches the students all about running a successful business using technology such as computers,” Ms. Jarvis explained. As a class project, each student will open a fictional amusement park. Ms. Jarvis said that they will create a website for the amusement park, hire the staff, make business cards, and so on. The entire semester will be based around the fictional amusement park. In the end, the students will be able to evaluate what went well and what didn’t.

When asked why he wanted to take the class, Ethan Trunnell responded, “I think that the class will help me in the future.” Ms. Jarvis said that these skills really are helpful in later years. The computer business class teaches the students all about financing and lets them get some experience in the business world. It also teaches the students what all business owners do on a daily basis. “This is an exciting class for students who want to explore the business world and want to be an entrepreneur some day,” Ms. Jarvis stated.
