The 16 Christian County C-E-O students of the Class of 2026, along with their parents and C-E-O board members, attended Monday night’s orientation meeting at Pizza Man in Pana.
Pizza Man owner and C-E-O board member Mike Foster hosted the event, where the students and parents were given an overview of what the C-E-O, or “Creating Entrepreneurial Opportunities” program, will be like starting this Thursday and running from 7:30 til 9 daily during the school year.
The program meets at their classroom on the 2nd floor of U-S Bank in Taylorville, as well as several other business locations thru-out Christian County, and teaches students entrepreneurial and networking skills.
Board president Mary DelValle told Regional Radio News she shared some of her goals for this year’s class Monday night.
Facilitator Neil Hohenstein, now in his 5th year of leading the program, told Regional Radio News the eleventh year of C-E-O in Christian County is exciting.
Hohenstein also told the CEO students Monday night that, for the first time, Lincoln Land Community College will offer dual credits for participating in Christian County C-E-O.
