FAFSA deadline was 3/10/09(financial aid for post high school)

We had a large push throughout the building regarding the FAFSA deadline. HHS hosted a financial aid night in January, distributed info on College Goal Sunday, FAFSA Friday, & we hosted Murray & Associates (3/5/09) who visited both high schools & assisted families in filling out & submitting electronic FAFSA's. HHS counselors visited senior English classes 3/3/09 and completed surveys of all seniors to assess post high school goals and to assess FAFSA status. We also handed out FAFSA worksheets & handed out fliers/info about the Murray & Associates assistance in house later that week. According to our surveys, we had a large number of students who had already filed their on-line FAFSAs. This (I believe) is thanks to Mr Poyer who visited all senior classes in December and had students file for their electronic PINs and reminded students of the importance of the FAFSA deadline.
