We’re proud to share that Arlington Tech program students, Gabe Haynes and Alejandra Garcia, earned 2nd place out of 188 teams in the Virginia Stock Market Game, a statewide competition that challenges students to apply real-world investing strategies.

With the expert guidance of instructors Robert Summers and Angie Kelly, Gabe and Alejandra mastered key economic principles like long-term investing and diversification. His well-rounded portfolio saw major gains from investments in the health care sector and streaming services, helping him rise to the top of the competition.

As a result of their outstanding performance, they have been invited to a special awards luncheon at the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond—a well-deserved honor!
