Lexington High School finance team prepares for nationals

Lexington High School students prepare to advance in the National Personal Finance Challenge (NPFC) after winning the Massachusetts state finals last month. Although students have a faculty advisor working with them, they have taken to collaborating to fully understand the curriculum, preferring to make the material their own rather than relying on outside help. Students express newfound confidence, stating that they value the opportunity to understand the financial decisions they will face throughout their adult lives.

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, and learn to successfully navigate in our ever-changing economy. 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.
