Big news for Pennsylvania families.
Starting in the 2026–27 school year, every PA high school student will be required to take a personal finance course, covering budgeting, credit, and investing statewide. This is one of several new laws taking effect in the new year.
This one matters to me personally. I graduated with a degree in economics, finance, and business management, and I’ve been advocating for financial literacy in schools since my elementary school days. These are real-world skills that directly impact credit, homeownership, and long-term stability.
A meaningful step in the right direction for our kids and our communities.
