The school store at Edgewood High School in Harford County, Md., now shares its space with APG Federal Credit Union's first student-run branch. APGFCU, based in Aberdeen, in partnership with the Edgewood High School/Academy of Finance, officially opened the doors of its new Ram Branch with a ribbon-cutting ceremony this month. It's the first student-run credit union in Harford County.
Comptroller of Maryland Peter V. R. Franchot, Board of Education of Harford County President Leonard D. Wheeler, Superintendent of Schools Robert M. Tomback, APGFCU Chairman David H. Gilbert and APGFCU President/CEO Don W. Lewis and other Edgewood High and school system staff were on site to celebrate the event.
"The secret to financial literacy is begin when they're young. With over 17% of our members under age 18, we're committed to providing financial education to young people," said Lewis. "The opening of this student-run branch is the realization of a long-term vision. I thank our board of directors and Tina Mike, APGFCU's assistant vice president of financial education, for their commitment to education and empowerment."
