Ask students at First Baptist Academy in Houston, Texas what they are most excited about and chances are, their answers will be related to entrepreneurship. Two years ago, Teresa brought an entrepreneurship program to her campus and engaged her 8th grade students in launching a student-run venture at the school. Now they are developing a certificate track, certifying their teachers in the entrepreneurial mindset, and digging into deeper parent engagement.

Teresa's story is an inspiration to any head of school who is wondering how to start a meaningful entrepreneurship program--if you want to learn more about her school, visit their website at https://www.fbahouston.org/
