Academy of Finance at Northport

College Decision Day Congrats Class of 2021

To celebrate their hard work and completion of the IB examination, students in Ms. Pfisterer’s IB Business Management Higher Level 12 class were treated to Chick-Fil-A. When Ms. Pfisterer inquired about a teacher-discount, the owner of the Commack Chick-Fil-A, Bryan Beasley wrote back, My treat. Thanks for what you do. Happy Teacher Appreciation week! Such a wonderful gesture to support our seniors who deserve a pick-me-up during such an unprecedented year. Thank you Commack Chick-fil-A

On Friday 4/23, students in Northport High School's Academy of Finance College Accounting classes participated in a Career Speaker Series event sponsored by Junior Achievement. Employees from Deloitte, one of the Big 4 Accounting firms, joined a zoom meeting to discuss their careers, including college courses leading up to their profession as auditors, the interview process, and their daily responsibilities. The students enjoyed the experience, and their feedback included:... "I learned about the job they have as auditors and the details behind it has a lot of similarities to what we do in this class" "I found out how important the financial statements we learned in class can be used in a professional standpoint." "It's okay to not know what you want to do in life and sometimes taking risks has the best payoff." "It seems that other high schools do not offer the business classes Northport has." The Business Department is grateful for the opportunity for College Accounting students to meet and discuss career opportunities with an impressive firm such as Deloitte
