Money Lessons That Matter: Learning from Local Experts
Students in Coach Cobb’s Personal Finance class recently learned budgeting and banking basics from local experts at Centennial Bank.
Thank you to Ginger Foster and Molly McAlpin for sharing smart money strategies and helping our students build real-world financial skills.
This hands-on session focused on budgeting, checking accounts, and the financial habits that set students up for success after graduation.
What a great example of how learning can be practical, personal, and connected to the future.
🦅 Big thanks to Centennial Bank for being a part of our students' journey.
