In 1910, a bank opened for business along Main Street in Jasper, a town located in the heart of the Ohio Valley region. Business visionaries in the community saw a need and an opportunity. They brought on shareholders and christened the bank name to be German American Bank in honor of the region's rich German-American heritage.

The business has grown to become one of the strongest community banks in the Midwest, now serving Indiana, Kentucky and Ohio. The company is still based in Jasper with the headquarters remaining on that same block along Main Street, and it still follows the same values of the original founders: Trust, integrity, lasting relationships, high standards and community focus to help people create brighter futures. German American offers a full suite of personal banking, business banking and wealth management services.

The bank has more than 70 locations, including Seymour, which also has a German heritage.

It's Fund Fact Friday!
This week we are sharing the number of new funds started at the Foundation in 2025.
It was a busy year.
This year our Board of Directors approved 22 new funds at the Foundation. Those funds include community, donor-advised, scholarship and designated funds.
Gifts to these funds were made in 2025 to help support people and organizations in Jackson County forever.
They have grown the Foundation’s endowment, which will generate grant earnings while continuing to support the future of Jackson County — all through the generosity of our donors.

Congratulations to Hazel!

We are excited to recognize Hazel Cain, who was nominated by Miss Whipker for the many ways she lives out Trinity’s values each day.

Christ-Centered – Hazel demonstrates her faith through her actions, consistently modeling kindness, patience, and Christian character.
Excellence – She shows strong academic effort, always working diligently, asking questions, and problem-solving when challenges arise.
Caring Community – Hazel encourages and uplifts those around her, creating a welcoming and positive environment for her peers.

Miss Whipker shared this about Hazel:
“Hazel is a student who leads by her actions. She is someone whose effort, kindness, and acceptance of others is reflected within my classroom daily. She is always working to complete tasks and problem solve when she does not know something. She is a good example to others, and lifts others up with her smile or humor. I truly enjoy having Hazel’s calming and positive presence in my classroom.”

Please join us in celebrating Hazel for being a wonderful example of what it means to be a Class Act Cougar!
