We are pleased to offer our families the opportunity to receive help completing the FAFSA on Wednesday, October 7 from 5-7pm. Completion of the FAFSA is a state of Illinois graduation requirement. An online non-completion form was publicly released on October 1st.
Students and their families will be able to meet the Illinois graduation requirement in one of three ways:
1) Complete the FAFSA: The Free Application for Federal Student Aid or
2) The Alternative Application: A free Application for students with specific citizenship status or
3) A Non-Completion Waiver: A free form for students and parents that wish to Opt- out of completing a FAFSA application.
We are happy to offer assistance with all of the options at our Senior FAFSA Night!

Who Remembers?!
Our 7th grade Industrial Arts students are starting to finish up their first project of the semester—the infamous oven push/pull stick!
And apparently, this project is a tradition that stands the test of time! Their teacher even remembers making the same one when he was in 7th grade… 25 years ago!
Some projects are just classics.
