Seniors who are thinking about college or trade school: FAFSA Night is December 1st at 6pm. Stop by and let Mrs. VK know you're coming! FAFSA is used to help apply for grants and scholarships available through the Federal and State Government. This is money you don't have to pay back. It also helps colleges and trades schools see what else you can apply for at their school. Don't miss out!

Fill out the FAFSA (Dec 1st is our in person FAFSA night @ 6pm. Mark your calendars!) 2. Create an MISSG account. Details are in the email. If you need help reach out to VK!
