Welcome!

Welcome to Mr. Fields Economics & Personal Finance class. I am excited to have you all this upcoming semester. I graduated from the University of Tennessee and am in my 12th year teaching at Parkland High School. My top goal for this class is to help you develop into financially minded young adults. If you ever need to reach me at anytime during the semester you can message me through Canvas, the Remind App, or reach me by email at kdfields@wsfcs.k12.nc.us.

In this course you will acquire the skills and knowledge necessary to become responsible and effective citizens in an interdependent world. What exactly does that mean? Over the course of this semester we will discuss the ideas and principles that our economy was founded on, the role you play in the global marketplace and how to be the best fiscally responsible versions of yourself.

The class syllabus has more information about this course, the expectations for class, how to find assignments and how assignments will be turned in. The syllabus can be found by clicking on the Syllabus tab in the left hand navigation bar, or by clicking here.
