ICHS is still seeking volunteers for our senior interviews! We discovered our students were underprepared for the real world a few years ago, so we committed to finding real-life experiences through our Capstone Project. This project is in its fifth year, and we have already had good feedback from our graduates. If you are interested in participating, please fill this out: https://forms.gle/VoVfo6J3mSUkEh4YA or contact Jennifer Durbin at jdurbin@illinicentral.org.

Reminder: Tonight is our FAFSA open house from 4-8 in the cafeteria. This is an event to help fulfill a state graduation requirement for our seniors. This is an optional event. If you are attending, please bring all the necessary paperwork and your child’s chromebook. Please contact us with any questions or concerns.

On Thursday afternoon, the high school students will be participating in a crash reenactment in the west parking lot.

Thank you!

Good Morning, Corrections from yesterday’s announcement. Wednesday, the junior and senior classes will attend the Education Fair at the State Fairgrounds in Springfield.

On October 6th from 4-8 we will be having a FAFSA open house. The FAFSA is a graduation requirement by the state. FAFSA tells you what you will be awarded financially to apply to college tuition. This is free money. Before each year of college, apply for federal grants, work-study, and loans with the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) form. Your college uses your FAFSA data to determine your federal aid eligibility. Many states and colleges use FAFSA data to award their own aid. This is a great opportunity for you to begin this process and get one thing done towards your graduation requirements. Early graduates, this is especially important for you to complete ASAP. Attached you will find a document that includes all the documents you will need to file your FAFSA.
