Last Thursday, Peekskill students came out on top, winning first place at the 2024 Business Olympics, hosted by African American Men of Westchester (AAMW) and Morgan Stanley.

Tackling a Harvard Business Study on AI, they had to rank and explain how different uses of AI could augment human creativity. Focusing on divergent thinking as the key factor, their presentation impressed the judges, ranking first among ten Westchester school districts.

Peekskill High School is excited to add another first-place trophy to their collection. Students will receive gold medals and laptops at a dinner hosted by AAMW next month.
