Celebrating Maryland’s Top Young Investors: 2025-2026 Stock Market Game Winners

We are proud to recognize the outstanding student teams along with their teacher/advisor and schools that outperformed the market and rose to the top of their grade divisions during the Fall, Spring, and Yearlong sessions of the Stock Market Game during the 2025-2026 school year. These students and educators will be celebrated on Wednesday at MCEE’s Annual Student Achievement and Awards Luncheon held at Towson University. We also extend our sincere appreciation to the generous sponsors who make this program possible and help bring real-world financial education experiences to students across Maryland. Managed statewide by MCEE, the Stock Market Game is an engaging educational tool used in classrooms, after-school programs, and clubs throughout Maryland to help students learn how investing can build long-term wealth while also strengthening important academic skills in math, reading, social studies, business, teamwork, and research. Each year, more than 25,000 Maryland students in grades 4–12 participate in 10- or 30-week sessions, using $100,000 in virtual cash to build and manage a diversified investment portfolio based on real-world market conditions.
