A group of Fernley High School students were the overall winners of the Lyon County School District Spring 2026 Economic Summit held May 28 at Silver Stage High School.
The LCSD Economic Summit was started in 2009 by Damon Etter, a former economics teacher at Dayton High School. It has since grown to include each of the high schools in the county.
Students study international trade, with each team representing a country and learning its history, culture and economy.
They compete to raise the standard of living of their assigned country by applying their knowledge and skills in problem solving, international trade, finance, banking, debate, and video production. They also design creative costumes and country displays.
The Fernley team of Brandon Castro-Ibarra, Jesus Bernal-Infante, Jaden Doan, Aiden Mercado and Nataani Bitsilly, who are all in the economics class taught by Thomas Chapin, represented the Philippines. In addition to winning the overall summit, they also were the top-placing team representing a low-income country.
