The Grad Night College Fair is this evening from 6-7 in the gym. Seniors, don't forget your order forms (and only fill out Section 1). Any high school student may attend; 15 college and military admissions groups will be available.
Retake pictures scheduled for tomorrow have been cancelled by LifeTouch (lack of personnel).
They rescheduled us for OCTOBER 19th.
A virtual college fair will be hosted by Probe this year on October 13 from 5-7:45 p.m. To register, visit RegisterProbe.com and search for the virtual fair. Any high school student may participate.
The Free Application for Federal Student Aid, aka the FAFSA, is the single most important thing students can do to get money to help pay for college. It’s the only way they can apply for federal or state financial aid. The FAFSA® will determine their eligibility for grants, scholarships, work-study programs, and federal student loans.
Students and families can register for a free, live virtual event to learn more.
