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! Joseline Wilson is a senior at Sand Creek and has an interest in becoming an educator. This year, she was placed in a Sand Creek Elementary classroom. This provides Joseline the opportunity to receive personal experience in the field. We appreciate Joseline's dedication to the education field and look forward to welcoming her someday to the ranks of passionate educators. 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.

Last night, the U.S. Department of Education 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.
