Business Management has been offered at Hoover High School to give students the chance to explore the business world before college. Viking Enterprise is the student run business through this senior-level Business Management Class in association with Junior Achievement. The business is separated into two companies: Division 12 and Viking Ware. Each company elects its own officers, is in charge of their marketing, and sells their own products. Viking Ware is currently selling athletic draw string bags with a Viking-head logo featured on them as well as business card holder. While Division 12 offers Easy Mix Recipe Jars. They feature 5 different cookie and brownie recipes creatively packaged in a reusable plastic jar with a customizable recipe card. These features make it an ideal gift for friends and family that shows you care but also doesn’t bust your bank account.

For more information on either company you can visit their website at: http://www.northcantonschools.org/~vikingent

Mr. Ben Janchar was one of seven teachers nationwide in the Biomedical Sciences program selected to receive the Project Lead the Way National Symposium Student Grant.  Project Lead the Way funded all of the expenses for students from North Canton Hoover High School to attend the National Symposium in Austin, TX on November 12th through 14th.

Students presented activities and projects from Principles of Biomedical Sciences and Human Body Systems, which are the two Biomedical Science classes the school currently offers.  Activities included EKG's and human bone measurements from a forensic crime scene dealing with the Human Body Systems' Maniken.

Hoover's group of juniors including Amy Bontrager, Maggie Desrosiers, Roger Swanson and Alexa Boyle, also won first place in the Biomedical division of the student-design competition creating a working, moving toy for hurricane relief victims using a set of random supplies.  These students did a tremendous job representing North Canton City Schools on a national scene.
