May 10, 2024 - The Haile College of Business Center for Economic Education at ���ϲʲ�ɫ�� congratulates the winners of the 2024 Kentucky Personal Finance Challenge that took place on campus in April.

Gabriel Thelen, John Lubert and Ryan Hartman of the St. Henry High School Crusaders won the high school division and will represent the Commonwealth of Kentucky in the national competition in Cleveland, Ohio on May 19^th and 20^th. An all-female team from Campbell County Middle School, led by Caleb Augustus, won the middle school division. The top four teams at the National Finals in Cleveland will win cash prizes.

“The inaugural Kentucky Personal Finance Competition was such a great event to inspire students to take ownership of their future. The students themselves spent hours working on their presentation and the pride they felt in the job they did was palpable,” says Bridget Kaiser-Munday, leader of the St. Henry Crusaders High School team. “This is a huge gift for them. It is so important in our world today to recognize that we all can and should be financially responsible, and the best way to do that is to start young!”

The National Personal Finance Challenge is a nationwide competition that offers high school students the opportunity to build and demonstrate their knowledge in the concepts of earning income, spending, saving, investing, managing credit and managing risk. Four high school teams and two middle school teams from Cooper High School, St. Henry High School, Walton-Verona High School, Model High School and Campbell County Middle School participated in the Kentucky Personal Finance Challenge Finals on ���ϲʲ�ɫ��’s campus. These teams competed in the challenge’s online qualifying round with more than 500 students from schools across the commonwealth.
