34. From Classroom to Commerce: School-Based Enterprise Success Story

Episode 34 of The Art of Teaching Business podcast!

In this episode of The Art of Teaching Business, I take you inside the Roar Store at State College Area High School to spotlight a truly stellar school-based enterprise. I sit down with Mrs. Bridget Ciolkosz and her student managers to explore how their program blends retail operations, food service, branding, and experiential learning. From student-designed apparel and in-house food production to a state-of-the-art Spirit Box vending machine and community pickup lockers, this store models real-world business education in action. You’ll hear how collaboration, compliance, technology, and student leadership come together to create a dynamic, revenue-generating learning lab.
