You Deserve the Best

Managing your money well is an important part of life, so don't trust that responsibility to just anyone. With Education First, you're more than a member; you're part owner! We're a not-for-profit financial cooperative uniquely structured to help you improve your financial well-being.

Who's invited to the party?

  • You are a current or retired East Chambers or High Island Independent School District employee.
