The Meadville Area Credit Union has partnered with Sharpsville Area High School to offer a unique learning opportunity not often seen in schools. Several students and staff members were trained in marketing, financial literacy, and bank management in order to open a functioning school-based credit union.
The bank is student run and operated daily during our homeroom period from 7:30-8:05AM. Students are assisted by a teacher adviser and representatives from the Sharpsville branch of the Meadville Credit Union. Students can open accounts, deposit, and withdrawal money while learning how to manage their money properly. Students involved at the operations and management are responsible for developing marketing campaigns and for all management duties.
