JUNIORS: The ACT approaches!!!!

Juniors and Parents,

The ACT test date is quickly approaching! On Tuesday, March 6th, all Hickman County High School juniors will take the ACT 1st-4th periods in the gym. It is important to get a good night's sleep the night before and eat a good breakfast that morning.

Any junior who would like to do some studying before the test date is encouraged to pick up a Barron's ACT study guide from the Guidance Office.

Good luck to all!

SENIORS: March Scholarship List

Seniors and Parents,

Now is the time for the big scholarship push for our senior class. Here in the Guidance Office we are updating seniors regularly on new scholarship opportunities that have become available. Many of the scholarship applications are done online, however, there are still a handful that use the paper application. Those applications are kept on file in our office and are available for our seniors to pick up anytime.

We are doing something a little different this month. To ensure  parents are aware of the available scholarships we are mailing home the same scholarship list we give to the seniors. Parents are encouraged to look through the list, review it, and encourage your senior to apply for any scholarship they qualify for if they have not done so already.

We are here to answer any questions you may have about scholarships or financial aid. Please do not hesitate to contact us.

Also, we are having a FAFSA Followup session on Wednesday, February 29 from 12-5 at the high school. We encourage anyone who filed the FAFSA to attend.

Sincerely,
Amy Boaz, Guidance Counselor
Krista Dadd, Secretary
