Last week, a vibrant group of nearly 60 high school students from grades 9–12 actively engaged in financial literacy lessons at Crestview High School, led by Neko Stubblefield, EFCU Vice President of Membership and Community Development.

The personal financial literacy course covers many topics, from opening a checking or savings account to planning retirement.

“Eglin Federal Credit Union is committed to the communities we serve by providing free financial education,” said Ms Stubblefield.

“By offering this course in local high schools, we aim to empower young people to develop healthy financial habits that will serve them throughout their lives.”

Superintendent Marcus Chambers underscored the pivotal role of the Okaloosa County School District’s partnership with EFCU in enriching students’ education.

“The school district is grateful for the support of Eglin Federal Credit Union in facilitating financial education sessions to supplement the course curriculum, which will help students develop sound financial habits and achieve economic prosperity,” said  Mr Chambers.

Florida’s Dorothy L. Hukill Financial Literacy Act requires high school students to complete a financial literacy course to qualify for a standard high school diploma. The requirement applies to students who enrolled in high school in the 2023–2024 school year.
