We have been watching the weather and hoping it cooperates for an outdoor graduation ceremony this evening. As of now, it looks like our best chance at having graduation outdoors will be to delay our ceremony one hour.

Graduation will now take place this evening (Thursday, June 2) at 7:30 pm at Art Bernardi Stadium.

BC3 teaches dual-enrollment students importance of financial literacy

(Butler, PA) The average debt for Generation Z in the United States – those ages 18 to 23, according to a cnbc.com report in October – is just over $16,000, and for their immediate elders, the millennials, almost $87,500.

A Butler County Community College financial literacy course stresses the importance of budgeting, saving, investing and comparing career choices to financial decisions.

Nearly 40 Butler Area Senior High School seniors this spring are taking BC3’s financial literacy course on BC3’s main campus as part of an inaugural dual-enrollment Early College Pioneers program that debuted in August.

“I had no idea what this class was,” Early College Pioneer Delaney Dunmire said. “We were all kind of looking the class up. ‘What is this?’ We had never heard of it before.”
