The Weekly Buzz

From our counselor, Mrs. Chloe Hackney . . .

Educational Talent Search is a great FREE resource for students wishing to go to college after high school. Specifically they want to help low income, first generation college bound students, but all students are welcome to apply. This program will follow your student from 8th grade all the way through high school and assist in various ways to get them to college. The video below shares briefly what they can help with as your kiddo moves through CHS. Spots are limited, so you can apply online through the QR code at the end of the video or contact me for a paper copy. If your student has already applied, no need to do it again!
