Teachers Credit Union and John Glenn School Corporation proudly announce the continuance of the organizations’ long standing partnership, by collaborating to provide long-term resources to the students and families they serve. TCU’s commitment is targeted to support the development of financial education programs, scholarships, functions and activities. TCU will be providing a benefit to the students in each of John Glenn’s four schools in St. Joseph County.
The partnership will provide John Glenn students and theirfamilies’ access to a number of unique financial health and awareness programs. The benefits of educating students on financial responsibility from the time they begin elementary school not only helps families plan for college, but also helps the broader community by ultimately producing fiscally responsible adults. This partnership is in perfect alignment with John Glenn’smission to create an educational environment that will challenge, inspire, encourage and support excellence for an ever-changing world,while providing a student-centered academic atmosphere that will encourage lifelong learning experiences that enable all students to be productive members of their community.

“This partnership excites me because of its ability to benefit so many students and to teach students and their families the importance of financial education,” said Paul Marsh, President and CEO of TCU. “The skills students will gain from financial education courses will benefit their futures, families and communities. We are proud to be a part of the John Glenn School Corporation’s goal to provide students with superior education that will be the foundation of their future and their success. We look forward to all of the great achievements we will make alongside the John Glenn School Corporation.”
