Friday - October 2 – College / TN Promise Application Lab - Library – 1-5th Blocks                                                                                                                                                                     

The counselors along with Sam Mullins from TSAC and Jonathan Graham from MSCC will set up a college/technical college applications lab in the library.  Students may come to the lab during the school day for assistance with college applications.  In order to provide better service to students and gage how many volunteers we need, we are asking that you come to the counseling office and sign up for a time-slot.  If anyone needs assistance with the TN Promise Application, we can also help you at this time.  We will have computers available for student use, but feel free to bring your own computer. 

We are also hosting a couple of events the week after College App Week

Tuesday, October 6 – College Applications Lab – Library – 3:00-6:00PM during Parent/Teacher Conference

We invite any student who has not already applied to college/technical college or the TN Promise Scholarship to complete applications during this time.  Parents are invited to this event also.  Jim Gray from TTU is assisting with this event.  Please sign up in the counseling office so we know how many to expect.
