Saratoga Central Catholic School Launches VITA Program for Accounting Students

Mr. George Hannah, Business Teacher at Saratoga Central Catholic School

Saratoga Central Catholic School is excited to announce the addition of the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) Program for students enrolled in our Accounting classes. Led by new faculty member Mr. George Hannah, this brand-new initiative brings incredible real-world experience right into the classroom and serves as an amazing resume builder for our business students.

Through the VITA Program, Accounting students will have the opportunity to complete tax returns for community members under IRS guidelines. Participation in VITA is a major component of the Accounting course at SCC, and students will begin in-class training in the coming months. In January, students will take both a tax law exam and an ethics exam, and an IRS-certified VITA trainer will join the class to support their preparation.

Saratoga Central Catholic is proud to be one of just 25 high schools in New York State — and only 121 nationwide — according to the IRS to participate in this program.
