We were excited to welcome Maquoketa State Bank into the classroom, where representatives interviewed students for a career of their choice and then went a step further by creating personalized career profiles. These profiles helped students simulate a real-world budget scenario based on their future career path—bringing learning to life in a meaningful and practical way.
Thank you to Maquoketa State Bank for your continued partnership and commitment to helping our students prepare for a successful future!
