Bay Middle students getting ‘Financial Cents’

Congratulations to Bay Waveland Middle School for being selected as the launch pad for Hancock Bank’s new “Financial Cents” program that teaches students the skills they need to make sound financial decisions.

A ceremony will be held at 8:30 a.m. Wednesday in the school library.

The state has rated Bay St. Louis-Waveland School District schools as High Performing for three consecutive years.

The web-based Financial Cents program complements classroom lessons and has been successful at schools across the country. EverFi, the creator, is the nation’s leading education tech company and has a network of more than 10,000 schools.

Hancock Bank’s Financial Cents will eventually be rolled out in five Gulf states.
