Starting in 2019, our Greater Grays Harbor Foundation has supported various programs in our county, including:

In 2024 the entire Aberdeen High School Junior Class (11th grade) learned the basics of entrepreneurship – including basic marketing and business strategy. Business Week concludes the week with the annual Trade Show — a showcase of entrepreneurship and creativity. Thanks to the community and staff members who spent all week advising the student companies — 15 companies this year!

The Elma High School Chapter Business Procedures team finished in first place in a national competition in Louisville, KY that tests the problem solving and teamwork skills that are necessary to succeed in a workplace setting. The Mobile Robotic Technology team also participated and gained valuable experience in this national competition.

The 2025 Aberdeen High School chapter of the Future Business Leaders of America competed at regionals in January. The Digital Video Production team of Jaime Martinez DeJesus, Jacob Jones and Cave Gunter placed fourth and earned a berth to the state competition in April. Cole Revel placed fifth in the Financial Math competition and also advances to state.

Additional team members include Cooper Revel, Emmett Johnson, Anais Cardenas Salazar, Ace Chism and Payton Sturgill. Congratulations to the FBLA state qualifiers!
