HCHS Parents and Stakeholders,
Happy Friday! I wanted to touch base today on two main announcements...Our annual College & Career Fair and the upcoming PSAT opportunity, plus a few additional notes. Please see below for details...
COLLEGE & CAREER FAIR...
Our annual College & Career Fair will be held on Thursday, September 11th, from 6-7:30 pm in the bottom of E building (entrance will be available at E building across from the red fieldhouse). This is always a FABULOUS night to learn about post-secondary opportunities
for our students. Representatives from a myriad of colleges (two-year, four-year, trade schools), local businesses, and military will be available to share opportunities. The Fair is open to ALL students and their families...and especially encouraged for our junior and senior families. Please see the attached flyer for more information. We hope you'll make plans to attend!
PARENT FINANCIAL AID WORKSHOP...
At 6:30 pm on the night of the College & Career Fair, we will host a Parent Financial Aid Workshop in the Testing Center. This 30 minute session is especially for our senior parents and students. Please see the attached flyer for more information.
PSAT = National Merit Opportunity
The PSAT is a national exam given each year that is directly related to the opportunity to qualify as a National Merit Scholar. To qualify as a National Merit Scholar--and hence having increased scholarship opportunities--students can qualify by taking the PSAT during their junior year. Sophomores can also take the PSAT during tenth grade as a practice test. The PSAT will be given at HCHS during the day on October 2nd. Spots are limited and can be reserved by visiting HCHS Registrar Ms. King. The cost is $11.
A few more upcoming events...
**Friday, September 12th: Progress Reports go home!
**Friday, September 12th during Advisory: Junior meeting about class rings; Senior meeting about graduation orders...Parents--Be on the lookout afterwards for information packets coming home with your student!
**Monday, September 22nd: Parent-Teacher Conferences...This is come-and-go between the hours of 1pm and 7pm. We hope you'll be able to come visit with your child's teachers!
Go Big Red!
