Hillside High School has taken the charge to the next level, and opened a functioning Bank branch. Organizers say that students, staff, and families will be able to open accounts as well as deposit funds to checking and savings accounts right at the Hillside branch.
One of the first people to open an account at Hillside’s student Bank Training Center was the New Tech director, Tounyq Wright. “I’m just loving this, I’m excited about it” said Wright “It’s going to be so convenient to be able to have this money here on campus."
The Bank is an official branch of Woodforest National Bank, which is based in Texas and is a partnership with Hillside’s Business and Finance Academy. Woodforest National is a community bank with more than 80 outlets across North Carolina.
Senior-Vice-President Jessica Valentine says, “This is their first time opening a high school branch. Many students have jobs at the bank. Kiara Lowther is a senior at Hillside and a loan officer. The students trained to work at the Bank are a part of the school’s Business and Finance Academy. “Before I took this class, I used to spend money on fast food and a lot of pointless stuff. But Ms. Ross showed us how to balance our money and how to save up," said Lowher.
