High school students from across the US flexed their financial literacy in CEE’s NPFC

CNN recently shared a video on LinkedIn highlighting high school students showcasing their financial knowledge at the Council for Economic Education’s National Personal Finance Challenge.

“These kids know more about finance than you,” the video begins, as students from across the country flexed their skills in the annual competition.

The National Personal Finance Challenge tests students on topics ranging from investing and retirement accounts to credit management and insurance. This year, more than 20,000 students competed, with a team from Mount Hebron High School in Maryland taking home the national championship.

About the Council for Economic Education

The Council for Economic Education’s (CEE’s) mission is to equip K–12 students with the tools and knowledge of personal finance and economics so that they can make better decisions for themselves, their families and their communities. We carry out our mission in three ways. We advocate to require financial and economic education in every state. We provide training, tools and resources — online and live through over 180 affiliates nationwide — to more than 40,000 teachers annually, who in turn bring the highest quality economics and personal finance instruction to over 4 million students. We deepen knowledge and introduce high school students to critical career capabilities through our national competitions and Invest in Girls program.
