Three Chesterfield County high schools were recently honored as 2024-25 W!se Blue Star Schools: Cosby High, James River High and Midlothian High. Schools that achieve this national recognition have a significant portion of students demonstrate proficiency in personal finance by achieving high passing rates on the certification test. Students who pass the test earn a certificate of financial literacy.
In addition, 21 Chesterfield County Public Schools teachers were named W!se Gold Star Teachers. For a teacher to earn this national recognition, at least one of the teacher’s classes must have achieved a 93% passing rate on the W!se financial literacy certification test in the 2024-25 school year. Congratulations to the economics and personal finance teachers who were named W!se Gold Star Teachers:
