SENIORS!! The Scholarship reporting and Military Commitment forms were handed out in your English class. Please make sure you follow ALL directions in completing the form. Turn in your form and all necessary documentation to the College and Career Center by April 23rd.
This information, without amounts, will be published in the Graduation program.
Transcript Fees Due
All transcript fees are due by 3:00 on Thursday, April 23rd in the College and Career Center. The cost for each transcript request is $1.00. Students can check their Naviance account or the bulletin board outside of counseling to see the amount owed. Fees must be paid in cash in the College & Career Center. Unpaid fees will keep the student from checking out with the Counseling office and can keep them from participating in Graduation. Don't let that happen, pay your fees today!
