Parents of seniors, a college financial aid representative will be at HHS on Wed, Nov 8th at 2:00pm to discuss the changes and the process for FAFSA (Pell Grant). She will be meeting with the senior class for a presentation in the cafeteria. Parents are welcome to come. We will also record the session and post a link for it if parents are unable to attend. The FAFSA process is getting completely overhauled. It is not expected to be available for use until December, specific date TBD. Colleges are aware of this, so students should go ahead and complete college applications without their FAFSA info at this point.
Congratulations to our HHS Lady Railers on their All-League Honors.
