3DE Case Challenge Winners!

Congratulations to our 9.4 Case Challenge | Arby’s winners — Makaya Holmes & Teyonna McClary!

After a series of presentations judged by industry partners from SCI, these two rose to the top. Makaya and Teyonna put their hard work, creativity, and professionalism on full display. Their presentation has been officially submitted to compete against 43 3DE High Schools across the nation!

This is a what Waltrip’s 3DE model is all about — connecting students to real-world business challenges, industry professionals, and opportunities that go far beyond the classroom.

Seeking Judges for 3DE Market Expo

We’re looking for volunteer judges for the 3DE Market Expo this Thursday. Our 11th grade students have been hard at work creating and building their own businesses — and now it’s time for them to shine.

As a judge, you’ll visit student booths, listen to their pitches, and help score teams for awards. No experience necessary — just a willingness to engage and encourage the next generation of entrepreneurs!

DJ Bingo Sponsorships

We’re seeking support to make our upcoming DJ Bingo, Auction & Fundraising Event an EPIC success! Please consider becoming a sponsor — or share this with someone who might be!

Sponsorship levels are available for everyone, from local businesses wanting community visibility to proud Waltrip family members showing some love. It’s a great way to invest in our students and have a BLAST doing it.
