Madison High – Econ & Pers Finance HN

Mar 2026 · 2nd Semester

The Honors EPF course expands and enriches the standard Economics and Personal Finance curriculum by incorporating project based learning and curriculum extensions that will require students to analyze the costs and benefits of economic policies to society and to themselves. In addition to being able to define, identify, and understand financial and economic systems, students in the honors course will analyze the differences between domestic and global policies and the evolution, and oftentimes unintended consequences, of those policies. Students will be able to explain the operation of current financial and economic systems, anticipate advantages and disadvantages of evolving systems, and consider how they can best take advantage of these changes to ensure economic security for our nation and for themselves.
