Welcome From the Academy Coordinator

Welcome to the Princeton High School Academy of Small Business (AOSB)!

Thank you for taking the time to learn more about our Academy. Whether you are a prospective student, parent, business leader, or community partner, I am excited to share what makes our program such a special place to learn, grow, and succeed.

At the Academy of Small Business, we believe that the best way to learn is by doing. Our students don't just study entrepreneurship—they experience it. Through hands-on projects, collaboration with local businesses, guest speakers, field trips, internships, leadership opportunities, and real-world problem solving, students develop the knowledge and confidence needed to thrive in college, careers, and life.

As a NAF Academy, we are committed to providing meaningful experiences that connect classroom learning with today's business world. Students build essential skills in communication, teamwork, leadership, professionalism, financial literacy, critical thinking, and innovation while exploring a variety of exciting career pathways in business and entrepreneurship.

Our Academy is made possible through the incredible support of our parents, business partners, advisory board members, and community organizations. Their mentorship, expertise, and generosity help create opportunities that extend far beyond the classroom. Together, we are preparing the next generation of business leaders for Johnston County and beyond.

I invite you to explore our website to learn more about our programs, student experiences, upcoming events, and opportunities to become involved. Whether you are interested in joining our Academy, partnering with us, or simply learning more about what we do, we would love to connect with you.

Thank you for visiting the Academy of Small Business. We look forward to partnering with you as we continue Building Business Leaders for Johnston County.
