THS Opens Student-Run Credit Union Branch

Posted on 11/04/2025

A new era of financial learning has begun at Topeka High School!

Envista Credit Union members, including President & CEO Ronald D. Smeltzer, Kansas State Treasurer Steven Johnson, and representatives from the Greater Topeka Chamber of Commerce, joined Topeka High administrators on October 15 to celebrate the grand opening of The Trojan Vault, a student-run Envista Credit Union branch located on campus.

This exciting partnership gives students hands-on experience in financial literacy and real-world banking operations, empowering them to develop valuable career and life skills. Through The Trojan Vault, students are not only gaining practical knowledge but also helping strengthen the Topeka High community through financial education and leadership.

Topeka Public Schools thanks Topeka High Business Teacher, Mrs. Sheila Krohe, and our partners at Envista Credit Union for making this meaningful opportunity possible for students!
