SOUTH BEND, Ind.–The Warsaw High School gymnasium here has been renamed the Tiger Den TCU Court, thanks to a 10-year naming rights agreement between Warsaw Community Schools and Teachers Credit Union.
Signage noting the name change will be installed both outside and inside the building and Tiger Den TCU Court will appear in all Warsaw Community Schools written and promotional materials.
The building hosts a vast array of events and athletic competitions year-round, but is best-known as the home of the Warsaw Tigers basketball program. In a state known for its fanatical popularity of high school basketball, the 4,704-seat facility ranks in the top-third of Indiana’s largest prep gyms, the credit union said.
“Warsaw has a proud history of athletic and academic excellence and Teachers Credit Union is excited to serve and contribute to the area’s rich traditions and wide variety of victories,” said Teachers Credit Union President and CEO Paul Marsh in a statement.
In addition to the naming rights agreement, Warsaw High’s Career Center also recently registered in the TCU Financial Empowerment Program. The free curriculum engages high school students with a unique, web-driven financial literacy program developed by teachers and personal finance experts. The curriculum teaches students critical thinking skills needed to ensure a lifetime of smart financial decisions.
"Warsaw Community Schools’ strategic priorities include partnering with local business to enhance services we offer our staff, students, and community as well as maintaining our commitment to fiscal responsibility,” said Board President Heather Reichenbach. “Beyond current support within our corporation, this expanded collaboration with Teachers Credit Union increases efficiencies in operations and allows the district to leverage its resources as we continue to provide an excellent educational experience for our children and our community."
The $3-billion Teachers CU has 287,000 members.
