Junior Achievement of Northern New England Impact Report (2020-2021

SCHOOL OF THE YEAR Lawrence High School, Lawrence, MA With Lawrence High School, our initial partnership began four years ago with programming for 49 students, which evolved into to the integration of our curriculum in LHS’s Business Pathway. In the 2020-21 academic year, nearly 286 unique students went through five different JA programs across all three pathways—financial literacy, career readiness, and entrepreneurship. Students in LHS’s RISE program partnered with JA for the first time this year, providing lessons on money, savings, and wants versus needs to special education students.

Looking forward, JA and LHS representatives will continue a deep partnership, expanding offerings such as JA programs for first year students and adding a new financial literacy course for 250 seniors. This level of partnership is what we strive for in our impact communities and look forward to expanded and continued partnership with Lawrence High School in the future.
