Hold on tight, and welcome to your senior year! WYWLA students will need to make a decision as to whether they will stay for a fifth year to accumulate more college credits by mid-September of their fourth year in high school. This collaborative decision will be made by a team that includes the student, her parents, administration and Mrs. di Carlo.
The FAFSA is now open to complete! Our financial aid counselor is Ms. Wanda Moore. You can review her resources and make an appointment to work with her through this link.
