2025 Yearlong Regional Winners - High School Category are
(l-r) Morgan Shuster ’26 and Jacob Hanlon ’27
Congratulations to Morgan Shuster ’26 and Jake Hanlon ’27, who were named Yearlong Regional Winners of the Stock Market Game in the High School category, competing against teams across the Eastern Shore, Anne Arundel, and Baltimore areas. The Stock Market Game, run by the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association (SIFMA) Foundation, is a nationwide educational simulation that introduces students to the world of investing and personal finance. Participants manage a hypothetical $100,000 portfolio and make real-time investment decisions based on actual market data.
Jacob and Morgan began their portfolio in September and, through thoughtful research and strategic planning—particularly during a volatile period in the final months—grew their portfolio to a remarkable $131,000 by April. “Jake and Morgan demonstrated not only a strong understanding of market fundamentals, but also the ability to stay disciplined and make smart decisions during a very unpredictable time,” said Michael McFarland, History Department Chair at The Gunston School. “Their performance in the Stock Market Game reflects the kind of analytical thinking and real-world learning we aim to cultivate in our students.”
