Wolfson High won first-place in the multi-national competition. Team members include:

JA Banks in Action is a volunteer-led program built around eight classroom sessions. During each session, students learn the fundamentals of the banking industry and then have the opportunity to apply what they learn in a competitive environment using the JA Banks in Action computer simulation.
All team members were students in the business academy at Wolfson High. The team was coached by a volunteer from CitiCards. In addition to the honor of winning, the three students will split a prize of $1500.
