DESTREHAN — Harry Hurst eighth graders recently attended Capital One/ JAMobile Finance Park where students were able to see, touch and live the experience of personal finance in a real-life setting of stores, shops and financial institutions, by basically becoming an adult for the day! Junior Achievement created this reality-based learning environment to improve the financial literacy of our future business leaders and employees.
