Logansport Savings Bank Announces New Financial Literacy Partnership with North Miami Schools

Logansport Savings Bank is proud to announce a new partnership with North Miami Schools to support the implementation of Indiana’s financial literacy graduation requirement.

Through this partnership, Logansport Savings Bank will provide funding and collaborative support to North Miami Schools to integrate a financial literacy curriculum into its classroom instruction ensuring students are equipped with essential, real-world money management skills before graduation.

As part of the initiative, Logansport Savings Bank has pledged the necessary funding over five years to assist with the purchase and sustainability of the school’s selected financial literacy curriculum. In addition to financial support, bank staff and loan officers will partner with educators to enhance the learning experience through guest presentations and real-world financial insights.

“Education is one of the most meaningful investments we can make in the future of our communities,” said Chad Higgins, President & CEO of Logansport Savings Bank. “As we continue to grow our presence in Miami County, we’re excited to partner with North Miami Schools to help students build the financial knowledge and confidence they’ll carry into adulthood.”

The partnership model was designed with flexibility in mind, allowing schools to choose the curriculum that best fits their existing teaching framework while benefiting from local support and resources.

“At North Miami, we want our students to graduate with the knowledge and confidence to make informed decisions about their future,” said Karise Kabage, Principal of North Miami Schools. “Partnering with Logansport Savings Bank gives our students the opportunity to learn practical financial skills first-hand.”

Financial literacy education has become an increasing priority nationwide, with a growing emphasis on ensuring students graduate with a practical understanding of topics such as budgeting, saving, credit, and financial decision-making.

“As an alumni and now parent of a little Warrior, I am proud to be able to give back to North Miami” said Katelyn Chistner, Commercial/Agricultural Lender. “I hope this gift helps today’s students have the same great tools, and chances to succeed as I had.”

North Miami Community Schools students will return to the classroom for the first day of school on Tuesday, August 11, 2026.
