This Monday, October 3rd at 7:30pm in the AHS Auditorium we are hosting FINANCIAL AID NIGHT for seniors and families. An expert on the process will be here to review the entire process and answer your questions. Geared for seniors, but open to all families who want info!

The August/October/November SAT/ACT dates are best for SENIORS... if you are a junior (especially if you are taking Algebra II this year) WAIT to take the SAT/ACT until he end of the year. Learn more, get smarter, prep, etc. You don't get extra bonus points for taking it early.

@ClockerCounsel It says the application should be mailed to the counseling office. Will applications dropped off at the HS office be accepted since USPS mail is taking longer these days?
