Credit for Life Fair
Jennifer Caufield

On Thursday, May 23, 2024, all HWRHS Juniors will participate in the 14th Annual Credit for Life Fair sponsored by the Institution for Savings Bank.  The Credit for Life Fair will be held in person, in the Rockett Arena at Salem State University.

The Credit for Life Fair is an interactive event held at high schools across Massachusetts and beyond and hosted by financial institutions and other organizations.  Credit for Life intends to prepare students to survive financially in the everyday world BEFORE they leave high school. Students choose professions,  assume the roles of 25-year-old 'professionals with paychecks', and use their monthly ‘salaries’, ‘credit cards’, and ‘savings accounts’ to purchase everything they will need to live as adults. The goal of the day is to balance their budget and not overspend. This event is organized and underwritten by the Bank.
