We've reached the time of year where things start moving very quickly, especially for our Seniors! This is a reminder that General Scholarship Applications and a number of local scholarships are due by the end of the school day on Thursday, May 1st - not counting today, that means just TEN school days until the deadline!
(Side Note: This deadline applies to the General Scholarship Application and a number of local scholarships. Students should always keep in mind that other available scholarships may have drastically different deadlines.)
Congratulations, Mr. Karcher!

If interested, students may apply using the QR code on the attached flier (also hanging up around school), or students can ask Ms. O'Connor for more information! Spots are limited!
