National Small Business Week, recognized each May, is a great time to celebrate and get information about local entrepreneurs – especially for high school students. Each year PEEP hosts a Small Business Week event at Phillip O. Berry Academy of Technology to expose students to local entrepreneurs and educate them on the path to entrepreneurship and the opportunities that it holds.
