Sept. 20, 2023 _ Redstone Federal Credit Union® joined with Scottsboro area leaders Wednesday to celebrate the opening of a branch inside Scottsboro High School that is fully operated by students.
A ribbon-cutting was held Wednesday at the student-run branch -- the first in Jackson County. Student tellers gain real-life work experience, improve their financial literacy, and earn money while training.
The branch is open to students, faculty, and staff at the school.
