Honoring Our Roots: Celebrating Teachers
Honoring Our Roots: Celebrating Teachers During Teacher Appreciation Week
At ICCU, supporting educators isn’t just something we do—it’s who we are….where we came from.
Our credit union was founded by teachers in 1958, and their spirit of service, community, and dedication has shaped us from the beginning. That’s why Teacher Appreciation Week holds special meaning for us. It’s a time to reflect on our origins, celebrate the educators who go above and beyond, and continue investing in the classrooms that shape the future of our communities.
A Legacy of Learning and Leadership
Teachers light the way for students, families, and entire communities. They inspire curiosity, nurture growth, and often do so with limited resources and endless determination. At ICCU, we’re proud to carry forward the legacy of our founders by continuing to support educators in meaningful, practical ways.
