Day two of the College Application Campaign was a success at the high school! The counseling office assisted nearly 50 students with completing college applications, creating StudentAid.gov accounts and discussed next steps to prepare for life after high school.
Any seniors who would still like assistance, please see your counselor, Mrs. McLaughlin, or one of the AmeriCorps Student Leaders at any time.

We are so excited to start sharing the responses from our alumni spotlight survey. We will be showcasing the many paths and careers that our alumni have taken with our students. We also wanted to share this with our community so everyone could see the variety of careers our former students have pursued. We will continue to share throughout the remainder of the school year. We appreciate all of our alumni who have completed our alumni spotlight. We invite anyone who has not completed the google form to complete it as we will continue to share information received. Thank you to our AmeriCorps Student Leaders for putting these together. Alumni Spotlight Link: https://forms.gle/Ff9kgMwXYwp75MC3A
