A new partnership is aimed at promoting financial literacy for Clarke County School District seniors. Every graduating senior will receive a $1,000 investment portfolio and financial education through a new initiative between the district and nonprofit organizations Gifted Savings and TED-Ed. CCSD is the first public school district in the nation where every senior will graduate as an investor.

More than 800 12-grade students at Cedar Shoals, Clarke Central, and Classic City high schools were directly gifted portfolios by an anonymous donor.

In addition to their portfolios, each senior will be given access to a personal account on the Gifted Savings app, complete with weekly lessons on saving, investing, and using their money with purpose.
