We Need Your Shoes!
Cleaning out your closet? The National Technical Honors Society is hosting a shoe fundraiser! Bring in any gently worn, good-condition shoes—they will be donated to families in developing nations.

Drop-off: Outside the school store

Deadline: February 28th

Several groups of Medical Sciences 1, 10th grade students, will spend nearly two hours in Henry Ford Rochester Hospital in the coming days. These visits will allow over 90 students to experience the inner workings of a hospital and get an idea of the many jobs and careers that are available within the medical field. Many students do not understand that it takes teams of people to operate a hospital, and that not all of those jobs are patient facing. A hospital employee can work in the medical field behind the scenes in a wide variety of jobs. Out of school experiences like these are crucial for our students so they can connect what they are learning in class to real world applications.

2026-2027 FAFSA Form

The 2026-27 FAFSA is open. All current seniors planning to attend college should be working with their parents/guardians to complete this online application. The FAFSA form connects students to various forms of Federal and State financial aid programs. FAFSA is required for most State of Michigan financial aid programs, including the Michigan Achievement Scholarship. For example, students who complete the FAFSA will have access to free community college tuition through Michigan’s Community College Guarantee, which has no income criteria. Students can complete the FAFSA at StudentAid.gov. For additional information about the FAFSA, please visit our FAFSA resources page. The state of Michigan also offers helpful online presentations that families may register for. Additionally, Oakland University offers virtual financial aid workshops as a resource for all families.
