Seniors at Gainesville High School diverted from their regular academic schedule Wednesday morning to learn lessons in financial responsibility. The school’s interim principal, LaCrisia Larkin, explained that administrators wanted something for the seniors to participate in while the rest of the school was testing. The answer was JA in a Day: Personal Finance, a presentation by the nonprofit organization Junior Achievement.“The freshmen are doing GA411, the sophomores are taking the PSAT and the juniors the ASVAB,” Larkin said.
