FAFSA REQUIREMENT & SUPPORT
The Free Application for Federal Student Aid is a required graduation activity. All seniors and their families must complete this document to meet Louisiana Graduation Requirements. Currently, 54% of seniors have met this obligation. Families who have not completed the FAFSA can get online support at a virtual FAFSA support session just for Liberty Magnet Families. The online event will be held Wednesday, March 3 at 5:30pm.
senior fees
Currently, only 75 seniors have paid senior fees, thus far. This amount is not enough to cover the deposit cost for LSU as a graduation venue. In EBR, the senior class is responsible, through graduation fees, for covering the cost of the graduation ceremony. Senior families are asked to pay senior fees ASAP to ensure there is enough money in the graduation account to cover the cost of the PMAC once LSU sets planning meetings and a date for payment.
student council re-launch
If you have ever thought to yourself “I wish our school did that!” then we have an exciting opportunity for you. We are restructuring our Student Council and we want you to join. If you want LMHS to be the best, it will be hard work, but we will have lots of fun and you’ll get plenty of leadership opportunities. Complete the application posted in your class Google Classroom (Monday morning) and get ready to show the world why you’re proud to be a Patriot!
