The cards are original designs created by Benton Central student Caleb Owens, Central Catholic student Nathan Budny, Faith Christian student Theodora Yu and McCutcheon student Travis Baugh for a high-school debit card design contest hosted by Purdue Federal. The winning designs exhibit school spirit and were voted upon by the schools’ communities. Each winner received a $500 Purdue Federal Visa® gift card.
