Malverne Students Earn Top Honors at Virtual Enterprise Competition

On Jan. 14, student-run companies OwlWatch and Guarded Jewels from Malverne High School competed alongside more than 70 firms from across the region at the New York State/Northeast Virtual Enterprise Trade Show and Business Plan Competition held at LIU Post.
During the event, Malverne’s student executives presented their business plans to a panel of judges and worked the trade floor, actively marketing and selling their products. Both companies demonstrated exceptional professionalism and entrepreneurial skill, achieving impressive sales results and earning recognition in multiple competitive categories.
OwlWatch earned a Gold Award in the Sales Pitch Competition, while Guarded Jewels received Silver Awards in both the Sales Pitch Competition and the Booth Design Competition.
These accomplishments were achieved through Malverne High School’s Virtual Enterprise program, an innovative career-readiness initiative that provides students with a hands-on business simulation. Through the program, students operate a virtual company while assuming executive roles in marketing, finance, human resources and operations. The immersive experience helps students develop critical skills in collaboration, communication, problem-solving and entrepreneurship while applying academic knowledge to real-world business challenges.
The success of OwlWatch and Guarded Jewels underscores Malverne High School’s commitment to experiential learning and preparing students for success in college, careers and the global economy.
The district congratulates the OwlWatch and Guarded Jewels teams on their outstanding achievements and continued innovation in entrepreneurship.
