Panther Bank was started in the Fall of 1996 at Fleming County High School by Peoples Bank. It is a financial services class offered to students in grades 10-12. It helps to teach students how to run a bank utilizing real-life experience.Co-op opportunities are available to students in grade 12 each year.  Upon completion, many students apply for positions at the Peoples Bank.

Although the Panther Bank isn’t a full service bank, it does offer savings accounts for students and faculty, with faculty having the option of automatic payroll deduction. Students apply for positions through interviews and have certain responsibilities with each job that they must follow. The positions to be filled include president, vice-president, auditor, head bookkeeper, loan officers, and tellers.

A standard skills assessment test for financial services is also available to the students and after successfully passing, they receive a certificate that can be utilized in future job employment. A scholarship is given from Peoples Bank to one senior student in the graduating class each year. In addition, a Panther Bank store was started in 2004 that offers Panther mascot novelties and school supplies.

The Panther Store first opened on September 11, 2018. The store is a part of the marketing pathway in our school. It was planned and developed by the Marketing classes. It is operated by students in the financial services classes during lunch in the FCHS Cafeteria. In 2021, the Mobile Sales Trailer was donated by Pepsi Co. and was originally a concessions trailer. Now, it is used for the purpose of setting up the mobile store at outdoor sporting events and local festivals.
