The event will be held Nov. 10-12 in Atlanta, Ga. As a participant, MIHS's program will be one of many from throughout the country which brings together educators from across the country.

Mercer Island's program and skills center is a unique program offered by the Washington Network for Innovative Careers, in conduction with the school's marketing/DECA classes. Taught by Carol Wisely, the Mercer Island Trading Company is a cornerstone of the program.

The class is open to students from around the area and next school year has 26 students from six high schools enrolled.
