ABOUT US
Established in November 2013 by business teacher, Mrs. James.
Abilene High School is fortunate to have a school-based enterprise, Stick ‘Em Up, which operates through the class: Visual Marketing and Design. To help with the success of our business, Stick 'Em Up is incorporated within several classes that Mrs. James teaches. Stick 'Em Up is managed and operated by students as hands-on learning laboratories that integrate standards in several of our pathways that we offer at AHS. Stick 'Em up provides realistic and practical learning experiences that reinforce classroom instruction in Introduction to Business, Accounting, Computer Essentials II, Cowboy Creations. Stick ‘Em Up is a major learning component in both the Web and Digital Communications pathway and the Business Finance pathway. All funds raised are reinvested into the business - equipment and supplies; used for student leadership opportunities, conferences and scholarship.
