Student-Led Success: Inside Eagles Manufacturing at Lake Shore High School
At Lake Shore High School, students aren't just preparing for the future—they’re building it. Eagles Manufacturing, a unique student-run business, is transforming the traditional classroom into a high-stakes professional environment where students take the lead in every aspect of the company.
Launched in September 2023, the program allows students to rotate through various departments, gaining hands-on experience in high-demand fields. This isn't a simulation; it’s a fully functioning business that manages real clients, real deadlines, and real revenue.
Learning Beyond the Textbook
The curriculum is designed to provide a comprehensive look at what it takes to run a modern enterprise. Students in the program master a diverse set of skills, including:
- Product Development & Manufacturing: Taking an idea from concept to a physical product.
- Graphic Design & Web Development: Designing branding and maintaining the company’s e-commerce platform.
- Leadership & Customer Service: Managing team dynamics and professional client interactions.
- Financial Literacy: Handling payments and understanding the cycle of reinvesting profits.
Reinvesting in Excellence
What sets Eagles Manufacturing apart is its sustainable model. Every dollar of profit generated from sales—including their signature Lake Shore trucker hats and custom apparel—is reinvested directly back into the program. This funding allows the district to purchase new equipment and expand the opportunities available to future students.
