Patriot Branch Beginnings
Founded in 1937 as Schenectady Teachers FCU, we have consistently dedicated ourselves to supporting educators and students. Over the last two decades, the Patriot Branch, located within Schenectady High School, has been operated by student volunteers who gain practical work experience while learning the essentials of financial marketing and new account sales. This year, we proudly celebrate 20 years of operation within Schenectady High School!
