Two Jasper High alumni returned to speak with our students. Diana Sanchez spoke to the JAG and Human Services classes about her path through Cosmetology school. Austin Blessinger from American Fidelity spoke with the Sophomores in English class about insurance options available to adults. Thank you to Austin and Diana for giving back to JHS. The Advanced Animal Science class reviewed the digestive system by dissecting the digestive tract of a hog. While the smell was not pleasant, the kids were excited to physically see the digestive system.

The Free Application for Federal Student Aid site is now open for Students and Parents to complete their applications for next year. Any student considering attending college should complete the FAFSA to be eligible for financial assistance.
