Counseling Corner:  Be sure to attend our upcoming Parent Information Forums on the following topics:

For student athletes hoping to play competitive college sports:

NCAA Parent Information Forum, Dec. 7 at 6:30 p.m. in the Commons.  This session will answer questions about playing at a division 1 or 2 college and how to register with NCAA.

Are you a student athlete?  Are you planning / hoping to compete at the college level?  If you answered yes to either of these questions, you and your parent/guardian should attend the Parent Information Forum on Wednesday December 7 at 6:30 P.M. in Alpena High School Commons.  AHS Counselor Mary Daoust will be hosting the meeting regarding NCAA Eligibility Center registration.  She will explain the process, eligibility requirements and answer your questions.  NCAA registration is required for a student to participate in a Division 1 or 2 sport at the collegiate level. This is an informational meeting not a meeting to assist with the registration itself. This event is open to all area schools. 

For seniors or fifth year seniors:

"Choosing and Paying for College", Dec. 14 at 6:30 p.m. in the High School Commons.

I hope you, your loved ones, school family, and community were able to enjoy a memorable and safe Thanksgiving Holiday and well-deserved break. I am sharing the below Cyber Week national promotion that Jostens is offering relative to Class Jewelry this week - today through Sunday, December 4, 2022. I ask that you consider forwarding this communication to the families of whichever grade levels you offer Class Jewelry to your students (Seniors, Juniors, and for some schools - either Sophomores and/or Freshmen, depending on your school), and if you are able to include in your student announcements and/or social media posts this week, I would be incredibly grateful.

* Please note that this promotion is for online orders only, and for those schools that have an in-school Order/Event Day occurring this week, students will have the option to choose either the promotion below (online orders only) OR the choice of either an Adidas backpack with school logo or wireless earbuds by Cleer, but the Cyber Week online promotion cannot be combined with the backpack or earbuds offer.
