At this time we have a 90% completion rate of the FAFSA by our current senior class. The last 10% of this class have made or are making other arrangements for completion. Therefore we are cancelling the last FAFSA workshop that was originally scheduled for January 29^th as it has been deemed unnecessary. Former graduates enrolled in college are reminded that they must also fill out a FAFSA each year and this needs to be done as soon as possible because the state grant money will probably run out before the end of January. Please feel free to contact the guidance at the high school if you need assistance with the FAFSA (270-653-4044).

Like paper itself, origami actually originated in China but became popular in Japan as early as the 1600’s. Students began by first decorating the paper with original designs.
