All-Star Executives Mentor SPHS Virtual Enterprise and Entrepreneurship Students

Last week was an exciting one for the students in the South Pasadena High School (SPHS) Virtual Enterprise and Entrepreneurship classrooms. Tomas Fuller, retired Chief Financial Officer of VCA Animal Hospitals, visited SPHS to mentor the Varsity Virtual Enterprise Business Plan team as they prepare for the regional competition this week at Rio Hondo College.

In the Entrepreneurship class, Kevin Lyman, founder/producer of the Vans Warped Tour and current USC professor, shared about his entrepreneurial path staging backyard concerts and festivals across the country–helping teach the students what it takes to manage the largest traveling music festival in the United States.

Thank you to these top-notch entrepreneurs who are helping mentor and teach our students about what it takes to be a successful entrepreneur.
