FAFSA Night 2020
There will not be a FAFSA night at the school this fall. The link below has a voice-over presentation from NCMC on how to fill out the FAFSA along with other resources that will make the process easier. If you have any questions or need help, please let the HS Counselor know. Hopefully, we will be able to have an in-person FAFSA night this spring. Again, if you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact Mrs. Smith in the High School Counselor's office.
