Wilson High School Receives Gold Standard School Award! |
|
Next Gen Personal Finance (NGPF), a non-profit with a mission to ensure every HS student in America takes a personal finance course by the year 2030, has awarded Wilson High School its Gold Standard School award.
Montana State University researchers teamed up with NGPF to evaluate thousands of high school course catalogs and graduation requirements on the following scale:
-
Bronze Standard Schools offer some personal finance instruction in less than one continuous semester, often by embedding it into other courses (e.g. Economics).
-
Silver Standard Schools offer at least one semester of personal finance as a standalone elective OR offer a standalone personal finance course as one option among multiple that can fulfill a one semester graduation requirement.
-
Gold Standard Schools ensure all students take at least one standalone semester course in personal finance before graduation.
Outside the six states (AL, MO, UT, MS, TN and VA) that currently guarantee every high school student will take a personal finance course, researchers identified 1,591 Gold Standard Schools, Wilson High School among them.
According to Personal Finance Teacher Jake Peterson, “The commitment from the community, school board, and administration to a stand-alone personal finance course provides every student who leaves Wilson High School with the tools to be financially independent. I feel very fortunate as a Business educator to teach at a district that values the impact of financial literacy.”

2 Nights To Go For Wilson Theater Company's "Puffs!" |
|
"Puffs," or "Seven Increasingly Eventful Years at a Certain School of Magic & Magic," is a comedy for anyone who has ever felt like a secondary character in someone else’s story.
This play never goes more than a minute without a laugh built into the script. This play gives you a new look at a familiar adventure from the perspective of three new heroes just trying to make it through magic school. Alongside them are the Puffs, a group of well-meaning, loyal rejects with a love for badgers and snacks. Their epic journey takes the classic story to new places and reimagines what a boy wizard hero can be.
Showings will be tonight and tomorrow at 7:00pm. Can't wait to see you there!
