“We are the elite. We show that everywhere we go like in Columbus or at football games. It was always FS students in charge of the student section and captains of their respective teams. You have so many athletes and talented people in your class. We are destined to be great and you helped us get there.”

"Financial Services has done more to prepare me for the real world than any other class I’ve taken in my high school career. It taught me to leave my comfort zone, and to chase my dreams and aspirations, and how to not accidentally commit tax fraud."

"It is a blessing to have you as a teacher at Northwest, giving so many of us opportunities to meet business owners, have dinner with CEOs, learn banking this early in life, intern, and get access to several colleges and their business programs."

"This is the best class ever and I definitely recommend it to others because it gives you so many tools that you can use in life."

“When I look back on high school and this class, I’ll know that I was part of a family, a family that learned and grew together during an important time in all of our lives. And the best part is … I’ve finally learned my future”

“Financial Services is something that I will remember for the rest of my life because of the impact that it has made on me. It is something that I recommend to any sophomore because it is such an enriching and influential program."

“As my senior year in FS comes to a close, it’s time to reflect on everything I’ve learned: Mr. Clark hates popcorn, I’m surprisingly good at accounting but not at math class, I need to get a beanbag couch, and of course, the actual life lessons about finance that I will take with me and use for the rest of my life.”

"Thank you so much for the past two years Clark. You are truly the GOAT!"

"I’m always going to miss the days when we would all meet up at the tables to do fun crazy projects, or the days when we would sit at tables and make towers or funny business ideas the entire class would find hilarious."

"We created some of the best memories of high school … inside jokes, field trips, secrets, deep conversations, and lots of Ramen are just a few of the things Financial Services students get to experience together."

“Mr. Clark has endless stories and life lessons to tell you. He is probably the wisest person I've ever met. When you ask for his opinion it is always honest. Definitely the best class and teacher I ever had.”

“Mr. Clark is the only teacher at this school that I can relate to and the teacher that is the funniest human being in the entire world. Thank you for giving me this opportunity and making me who I am today!”

"My journey through Financial Services has been a great journey. I have met some really good people, and learned a lot of great things about life. Financial services will always be my favorite class."

"Taking this class has helped to transform me into a better person who knows how to take on real-world problems."

“Mr. Clark is the best teacher I’ve NEVER had! Thank you for taking me in like one of your own, allowing me to go on numerous trips, and treating me like part of the FS family.”

“When I found out I was accepted into Financial Services, I had no idea what to expect. This class quickly became one of the best decisions I have made and I couldn’t stand missing a day of school because I thought I would miss something important.”
