Posted May 12, 2025
Congratulations to Plymouth High School business education teacher Todd Williams, recently awarded a Governor’s Financial Literacy Award!
Mr. Williams was one of 11 individuals and 8 organizations honored by Gov. Tony Evers in a ceremony April 29 at the Wisconsin State Capitol for their efforts in helping Wisconsinites build financial literacy and capability skills.
“Financial education gives people the tools they need to achieve their goals, expand new opportunities, and help attain financial security for themselves and their families,” said Gov. Evers. “I thank these dedicated individuals and organizations for all they have done to help advance financial wellness in Wisconsin, and I congratulate them for receiving this prestigious award.”
Recipients were selected by the Governor’s Council on Financial Literacy and Capability from nominations using the following criteria: innovative implementation of an effective financial literacy and capability program or program element within the last two years; emphasis on financial inclusion, demonstrated measurable results; collaboration with partners; and scalability of the program design.
Mr. Williams was one of three teachers recognized in the individual category for providing exceptional financial literacy and capability education in an inclusive and innovative manner.
The council was impressed by his innovative teaching methods and visionary leadership for making a lasting impact on students, colleagues, and the broader educational community. As examples, they noted that he was an early adopter of SecureFutures’ Money Path learning tool, and that he initiated a Reality Check Simulation Day that has led more than 85 percent of PHS students to develop a budget and savings plan.
