Our goal is to connect them to classes, clubs and careers related to the activities they will participate in throughout their two-hour block. IMPORTANT NOTE: January 16 is the alternate date if there is a school closure due to weather on January 15th.

Trout Eggs have arrived!
Mr. Gilmer's AP Environmental and Wildlife classes are raising trout again this year. Our trout eggs arrived on Wednesday; we have 260 eggs this year. The goal is to keep as many alive as possible and release them into the Vermillion river in May. This is the 10th year of this project with the MN DNR and Minnesota Trout Unlimited.

Undecided College Bound Students?
CIEE (Council on International Educational Exchange) is here to help guide students towards a transformative experience that will shape their future. For students looking for international experience, we offer two exciting opportunities for students immediately following high school - First Year Abroad (FYA) and Gap Year Abroad.
On an FYA program, students will take classes and earn college credits through Dean College, FYAโs academic home and a top-ranked US institutionโall while exploring the world, gaining valuable skills for their future, and staying on track for graduation. Upon their return, they can transfer to the college of their choice or continue at Dean in a bachelorโs degree program.
On a Gap program, students get the chance to go up 1 whole language proficiency level in one of six world languages. Then, they will come back home refreshed, confident, and prepared to start college. For more information, visit: CIEE High School Graduates

Seniors! Have you completed your FAFSA?
Even if you do not feel you will receive aid, by completing the form you will qualify for federal direct unsubsidized loans. These loans typically have a lower interest rate than private loans and, although interest will accrue while you are enrolled, payment can be deferred until after graduation. For more information on these and other loans, please visit our website: https://www.isd194.org/academics/college-and-career-readiness/financial-aid/fafsa
