Attention juniors and seniors! During homeroom on January 7 we will have members of the class of 2009 share about their experience during their first semester in college. They will share what enabled them to be successful this past semester and what they did in high school to prepare for the challenges of college. If you are interested in hearing from the members of the class of 2009, please sign up in the main office.
All seniors are encouraged to complete the FAFSA form. Even if you are not certain of your post- high school plans it is important to fill out this federal financial aid application. Seniors will be given more information at a January 21st class meeting but are encouraged to begin the process now as colleges have varying financial aid deadlines.
For more information go to www.pheaa.org.
There will be a few FAFSA Help Sessions held in Lancaster. Please contact the location directly for information.
