The Depew High School Academy of Finance is a career development and financial literacy program designed to give participating students the opportunity to gain real-world experiences and knowledge that will assist them in becoming contributing members of our community and future workforce. Each AOF student creates an in-depth career plan & employability portfolio:  consisting of a professional resume, letters of recommendations, transcripts, examples of their work, accolades, and more. Our students participate in a live mock interview competition and develop networking, communication, and leadership skills. They attend region wide business seminars covering a plethora of topics. Students also create a detailed financial plan, through which they practice investing and participate in the National Stock Market Challenge and are required to complete 150 hours of paid internships to further gain experience & knowledge in career fields that interest them. DECA is an extra-curricular business club that offers additional opportunities, reinforcing these skills.

The Academy of Finance at Depew High School is a non-for-profit 501(c)3 organization. Donations made to this organization are deemed charitable donations for tax purposes. Please make checks payable to: “Depew High School Academy of Finance.”
