Entrepreneurship Program Grows

November 5, 2026 

STVM’s thriving Entrepreneurship Program, led by teachers Logan Jennings and Christopher Pamer VM15, offers an array of new opportunities for students to gain real-world business experiences through three progressive levels of courses and an Entrepreneurship Club, where students design and launch real businesses.

In the fall, student entrepreneurs started their own French fry culinary business and sold their tasty creations at home football games. Other student-run businesses included a custom soda-making business and a business that sells lettuce grown on campus in a hydroponic garden set up in the Pamela Godshalk VM11(h) MakerSpace.

Also in 2026, STVM officially opened the new Greenhouse on Green Street, installed by students behind the school
near the ticket booth at the VanDevere Automotive Family Stadium. Students in STVM’s Business and Entrepreneurship
classes have been developing and maintaining a student garden in the new greenhouse, giving the campus a new learning hub for entrepreneurial projects.

The Greenhouse on Green Street was made possible through the generous support of Suzy Hadley McBrayer VM89 and Bill McBrayer. We are grateful for their investment in launching this new learning environment and for their continued commitment to strengthening STVM’s Entrepreneurship Program.
