Former Alexander High School Student Gives Back

Alexander High School Business Education Department and the Future Business Leaders of America Club (FBLA) were pleased to host former student, Brandon Jordan of the Arch Advisory Group in the AHS auditorium. Mr. Jordan is a 2001 graduate of AHS where he was a three-sport varsity lettermen and a stellar academic student. He is now working as a Financial Planner and has a desire to give back to his hometown community. Stephen Beatty, Assistant Principal at AHS said that it was an incredible opportunity for Alexander students to interact and ask questions with a financial professional who had participated in football, baseball and wrestling while excelling academically while a student here.

Mr. Jordan is a managing partner at Arch Advisory Group, a financial services company located in Tyrone, Georgia. He began working in financial services in 2005 when he graduated from University of Georgia. He came back to AHS 16 years after graduation to share his story and to talk to the Financial Literacy, Accounting and Economics classes about “adulting” and handling their money as they move into adulthood. Current AHS student, Elijah Daniel, said that he enjoyed Mr. Jordan’s presentation and thought that his message was better received since he was once a student at AHS himself. Gracie Smallwood said that she was inspired to save money while Kevin Houston was surprised by the importance of minimizing student-loan debt. Ethan Cole said that Mr. Jordan helped him to understand how decisions made while young can affect the rest of your life.
