Minnesota students who plan to attend college in fall 2024 are highly encouraged to complete their Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) as soon as possible. Across the nation and statewide, FAFSA filing numbers are down compared to previous years.

This decreasing statistic comes at a time when more students than ever will qualify for Federal Pell Grants and be able to access game changing state financial aid programs, including the North Star Promise, the new scholarship program offering a tuition- and fee-free pathway for eligible students whose families make less than $80,000 per year.

For assistance with the FAFSA, Federal Student Aid offers students and families the ability to call, email or live chat on their Contact Center webpage.

Ready, Set, FAFSA! Webinar recordings:

DAKOTA HAWKS CI & PI SOFTBALL - STATE CHAMPIONS

In the storied history of the Dakota Hawks it is hard to accomplish many “firsts” but today there were a couple of major milestones at the State Adapted Softball Tournament at Chanhassen!

#1 Today was the FIRST EVER State Championship in Softball for the CI team. It was also the first CI title in any sport since 2015!

#2 Today was also the first time the Hawks won both state titles on the same day in the same sport!

Congrats to the HAWKS! The Championship game scores were an identical 5-4 and both were incredible games that went right down to the wire! In fact CI had a walkoff win after a very close play at the plate just one at bat after being thrown out at home on another great play at the plate!

Our PI Hawks on the State Championship team include Jae Bahma, Sammy Jordheim and Chloe Shibatta!

Our CI Hawks on the State Championship team include Kyle Jacobson and Ada Kramer along with coaches Scott Oxley and Jeff Anderson!

WAY TO GO HAWKS!!

BOYS VOLLEYBALL

The Lightning Boys JV volleyball team continued their winning ways with an exciting 2-0 victory on Thursday night, following their dominant 2-0 win over Farmington on Tuesday. The wins move the team to 17-2 on the season with 3 more conference matches to go.

The Lightning Boys volleyball varsity squad started the week with a 3-0 sweep of the Burnsville Blaze on the road, but then lost a fun battle with the Eagan Wildcats last night, losing in 4 sets. The 1-1 week moves the team's record to 17-3 on the season and 4-2 in league play.

The Lightning JV and Varsity head to Lakeville North Tuesday, before returning home on May 28 for their final regular season home match.

French Club is having a French/Swiss Cheese tasting afterschool on Tuesday, May 21st from 2:40-3:30 in room B220. Come join in the fun!

About the play:

The Ice Fishing Play by Kevin Kling.

Very Very Funny Comedy.

Cast of about 20, 8 principal roles.

In an ice fishing house on a lake in northern Minnesota, Ron, an ice fisherman extraordinaire, struggles to catch "the big one" only "the big one" doesn't just mean the biggest fish in the lake. A funny, vibrant exploration of the struggle to connect in a world of blizzards, frozen minnows, memories and miracles. A glimpse of the secret inner world of that mystical icon, the ice fisherman.
