High School Pro Tip:
It's important to pay any outstanding fines or fees, return books, tech and/or uniforms, including those from middle school, as soon as you are able. Homecoming Dance is right around the corner and those fines will mean that you will not be able to purchase your tickets!!
If you need financial assistance, please ask at the ASB office for guidance, we can help!
