Lockwood High students win top prize and international trip at competition [Video]

LOCKWOOD — Three seniors from Lockwood High School’s Global Affairs Club not only took home top honors at the EconoQuest economic literacy competition in Bozeman but were also rewarded with a fully sponsored trip to India.

Seniors Isabel Besel, Emily Brandenburg and Laira Larson are all members of Lockwood’s Global Affairs club. They learn about global issues through various projects and competitions nearly each week.
