The Union County Development Corporation held a ribbon cutting this past Monday to assist in the official  opening of the Bath State Bank school branch at Union County High School.

“Our high school program offers a BSB student bank account with the same basic structure as its typical offerings,” BSB president Brandon Logan said. “But reflects that students have a relatively small income and are just learning money management and how to navigate their financial lives.”

UCHS graduation requirements include completing a Personal Finance Class and the BSB branch will help provide the tools to pair with this instruction to educate students to grow their financial literacy knowledge.
