The Senior Panther
May 2026 Final Edition Piedmont High School
Just a Few Weeks Left...
We all wish to congratulate every single senior on this momentous occasion. All these years of hard work are about to come to an end and we are so proud to send you off in style on graduation day!
Seniors, we need your help!
Please log into SCOIR and tell us where you are attending college or community college! Go to your Colleges and Applications section and drag the college that you are attending into the box on the right! The prompt in the box will say "Where Are You Enrolling?" This will help us with final plans data and where your transcript should go. Questions?? Come and see your counselor!
Scholarship Reporting
Scholarship Reporting form: https://forms.gle/off8y5861Jm2rCMa6
Report ALL offers regardless if you plan to accept or use the scholarship or attend the school who offered the scholarship.
>Offers of scholarship money IF you apply also count! For example, if you received a letter or email from a college telling you that you could receive a $10,000 scholarship if you apply and get accepted.....we can count those offers, even if you never applied to that school!
>We need this information to report to the school district by the end of the year who then will post each high school's scholarship totals and we want to try to beat the other high schools in the county!!!! So dig through those emails and mailings you received last summer and at the beginning of the year and start reporting those scholarships!!!!
>This form will be available to report scholarships until the end of the school year: we will send reminders in homeroom, in Canvas announcements & on the Counseling page on the school website.
**We will also recognize scholarship recipients on the announcements! Stop by the Counseling Office if you have any questions!!**
Come and Join the Celebration!!
