The School of Business & Communication hosted the High School Business Plan Competition, To New Heights!, on November 12, 2025. This year’s theme challenged teams to design a business plan—including a marketing recommendation—for a nonprofit organization that makes a positive impact on the common good. Five teams from four local high schools participated in this year’s competition: Badin, Seton, La Salle, and St. Xavier. 

The School of Business and Communication’s High School Business Plan Competition brought together brilliant minds, supportive mentors, and a community that believes in young leaders.

Congratulations to our winners—and to every student who dared to risk a caring response in their non-profit business plans. Caring for underserved voices takes courage and compassion.

You didn’t just pitch organizations, you pitched change. Keep dreaming boldly and building a bright future “To New Heights!”
