Dakota State University’s College of Business and Information Systems recently concluded the 2026 Spring High School Investment Game, a regional, experiential learning competition that ran from mid-February through mid-April and engaged 160 students from 10 high schools across South Dakota and Minnesota. Using the S&P 500 as the benchmark—which returned 4.13% over the competition period—the program recognized more than 40 students who beat the market, including nine students who outperformed the benchmark by more than 10%, highlighting strong decision-making and disciplined portfolio management under real-world market conditions. - By Dr. Yenling Chang
