This fall, Tom McCormack had seniors in his classroom at Lee Middle and High School who could make the honor roll, lead sports and community activities, and are all planning to graduate with colleges and careers in mind.

Alex Todd has advocated for a financial literacy graduation requirement for 10 years. Monday night, the state of Kentucky moved another step closer to making that requirement a reality. The state Senate voted 35-3 in favor of House Bill 132, which was sponsored by state Rep. Jim DuPlessis, R-Elizabethtown. “It’s a huge step,” said Todd, who teaches financial literacy at Elizabethtown High School.
Meet Jack and Diane, two American kids looking forward to heading out in the world as a married couple with advanced degrees, secure jobs and, eventually, two kids and a pink house. The problem? Jack had to help his family with Hurricane Harvey recovery and still has a semester of college left to go. He’s also got $40,000 in student loan and credit card debt.
Induja Kannan is majoring in finance, but that doesn’t mean she knows how to manage her own finances. To fix that she signed up for Georgia Tech’s new personal finance course. The one-credit elective shows students how to set a budget and manage expenses. It includes a focus on investing at an early age.
