Seniors, if you complete the FAFSA and/or complete any application for a college or other post-secondary option, please see your counselors. You will be placed in a drawing for prizes. Prizes will be drawn several times during the month. You might get lunch from Taco Bell or you might get your own personal piñata with candy! Don't miss your chance!

Students have 8 more days (October 9) to turn in candy for community service hours to the Counseling office.

Do you need community service hours?

The Counseling Department needs candy to fill multiple piñatas that will be used as part of our "Let's TACObout College" celebration in October. Students can earn up to 3 hours of community service for a large bag of candy or 1 hour (up to 3 total) for a regular size bag of candy. Please bring in your candy to the Counseling office, in exchange for community service hours during the next 2 weeks (September 28- October 9). We appreciate your help with this task!

The counselors worked with all seniors to set up their studentaid.gov accounts on Tuesday. Parents will need their own studentaid.gov accounts to complete the parent/guardian portion as well. Parents, if you went to college and/or ever completed a FAFSA as a student, you already have your studentaid.gov account and will need to use/recover that one to also use as a parent now.
