Vermont's State Treasurer joins finance class at Winooski High School
WINOOSKI, Vt. (ABC22/FOX44) – Winooski finance students finished off their year managing money by meeting the state's top money manager.
Vermont State Treasurer Mike Pieciak attended a personal finance class at Winooski High School taught by Courtney Poquette, as he did in 2023 and 2024. He was first elected in November 2022.
Pieciak wrote in a Facebook post, 'Too many Vermonters grow up without learning how to manage their money. At Winooski High School, Ms. Poquette's personal finance course is filling that gap – helping her students make better decisions that will pay dividends in the future.
'It's proof of the impact a great teacher can have, especially for those who don't learn these skills at home or in their community.'

Courtney Poquette's personal finance course has been previously covered by ABC22/FOX44. The class, which is required for students in Winooski but not in most of Vermont, helps students learn about making good purchasing decisions and common business practices among other things.
Pieciak was born in Brattleboro and now lives in Winooski with his partner. For more information about money management and financial literacy, visit Vermont's official website at
