FOR SENIORS:
We are beginning to receive many scholarship opportunities, come to the Counseling office and check them out. 
You need to be getting your college applications ready. Mr. Roelfsema will be glad to help you with all the details. You will also need to begin your FAFSA application for financial aid by getting a pin number at: http://www.pin.ed.gov/PINWebApp/appinstr.jsp
Also, we have study materials for the ACT and SAT in the counseling office.
ALL STUDENTS:
Regular attendance will help you to reach your goals of graduating from High School. Teachers are available before and after school to help you with your work.
PARENTS:
Help your kids to be successful in school by making sure that they come to school regularly, get plenty of sleep on school nights, ask for help before and after school, and promptly make up missed school work. Praise and encourage your kids on a regular basis. It is never too early to have them think in a positive way about school and dream of going to college. Remember: EDUCATION IS POWER!
