Mission Statement:

“Learning to operate a business and providing for our community”

The West Marshall Free Enterprise class is a semester-long, and it blends the elements of entrepreneurship and production to create an authentic learning experience for students. We use our relationships in our school and community to sell and produce custom products.

The teachers oversee all operations and control the finances. Decisions are based on student ideas and survey feedback.

ABOUT US

The Free Enterprise class has been offered at West Marshall High School for more than 20 years. The class offers students the opportunity to learn how a business is run. We start the class by figuring out what products we want to offer and compare the prices to competitors’ prices. Then, we base our prices off of what our customers and competitors are telling us.

OUR PRODUCTS

After some carful consideration and selection, we have brought you a variety of products that you can view in the sections to the right. Some were new ideas while others are the same products offered for the last couple years because that’s what you like to see! Based on product survey data we decide what to offer if it aligns with the cost and profit margin. Our customer base consists of members of our surrounding communities which include Rhodes, Clemons, Ames, Melbourne, and Marshalltown Iowa.
