High school staff outline FAFSA outreach, early ASVAB and new Aspire mentor workshops
Summary
High-school staff reported strong homecoming participation, planned FAFSA support events, an early ASVAB administration due to regional limits, upcoming PSAT/band events, and a new Aspire mentor workshop series with scholarship eligibility for seniors who meet attendance requirements.
High-school staff reported a busy calendar and student-support efforts. The staff member said homecoming participation and ASB activities were high, and that the school will host a FAFSA night after the FAFSA portal opens in October. The staffer explained the ASVAB had to be scheduled early because local branches are losing funding and the closest remaining test locations are limited: "As of October 1, they will no longer do that. That's why we are doing it on Monday."
The report also outlined college- and career-focused programming: PSAT on Oct. 14, the first band concert on Oct. 29, and national competitions for FFA and related teams. The staff member described an Aspire mentor program and a linked incentive: "If you are a senior and you attend 6 of them, I think you are eligible for a scholarship." The session schedule and scholarship conditions were described as subject to some additional requirements.
