Did you know Sand Creek has over 13 students participating in a work study/apprentice program? The Aggie Academic Center recognizes that there are many paths to learning and this is just one of many!

Morgan Adams is a senior at Sand Creek. Her junior year, Morgan enrolled in the Dental program at the LISD TECH Center. This year, Morgan is continuing that experience as a co-op student at Sylvania Pediatric Dental Care. Through this program Morgan spends part of her day in the dental office earning money and gaining hands on experience!

The Counseling Center would also like to continue to recognize the LISD TECH Center for all of their hard work partnering with us and helping us to support and secure these placements for our students at Sand Creek.

Did you know that JCC offers personal interest courses? Some are even free and offer industry recognized certificates! Please see the link below. Note: some courses have age limits. You are able to self register.

The U.S. Department of Education has officially launched the 2026-27 Free Application for Federal Student Aid. The FAFSA is the only way for students to access the Michigan Achievement Scholarship and Community College Guarantee, as well as other vital financial aid like federal Pell Grants and institutional scholarships, for the 2026-27 academic year.

Completing the FAFSA remains the single most important step for students — especially students who would be the first in their family to go to college, students from low-income backgrounds, and students from underrepresented populations — to access affordable pathways to postsecondary degrees and certificates.

October is Michigan College Month! I am busy planning activities and supports for the month of October and will announce them soon, but in the meantime I wanted to get out the college application waiver codes.
