Congressman Mike Bost (R-Murphysboro) visited this week with Carbondale Community High School students participating in the SIFMA Foundation's Capitol Hill Challenge program. The national 14-week financial education competition pairs individual members of Congress with public schools in every congressional district, equipping middle and high school students with skills to become financially capable and civic-minded. Bost spoke with CCHS student teams that have spent the semester managing a hypothetical $100,000 investment portfolio of listed stocks, bonds, mutual funds and impact investments.
