SCHOLARSHIPS
A Scholarship Notebook is available in the guidance counselor's office. Students and parents may come in and browse through the various listings at any time---even if the counselor is not available. Feel free to ask the staff for copies of any scholarships that are interesting to you. Please do not remove the original copy.
Two bulletin boards (one near the main office and one in the high school wing) are used to announce scholarships, contests, test dates, and other important information. All high school students---not just seniors---should be checking these boards frequently!
