Depew High School's Academy of Finance began in the 2014-15 school year. Students participating in the Academy of Finance have opportunities to work directly with local business leaders to learn what it takes to be successful in the working world. This occurs through guest lectures, job shadows and field trips to area businesses. Sponsored by the National Academy Foundation, this program is a unique opportunity for students at DHS to enroll in a program that offers opportunities beyond those normally seen in a classroom. Students complete paid internships with local business partners. In addition, they have opportunities to obtain college credit for courses taken within the academy. Students who complete the Finance Academy program will obtain the communication skills, job seeking skills, and curriculum mastery that will enable them to pursue the career of their choice, whether it be business related or within another field.
