Purchase Your Coach Dunn Tribute Shirt today because we are Never Dunn with Tiger Pride:

We are taking orders for these short sleeve grey t-shirts. Any size you want is $15. You do not

have to pay till they come in. All you need to do is reply with quantity and size. A portion of each

shirt sale goes to the Peg Dunn Scholarship. We will place the order and get them to you

soon. If you have out of town family and friends that want to support we can ship after payment

with a small additional fee.

There is not a person in Macon who doesn’t admire this incredible man’s dedication to his

school, community, and country. We felt it important to recognize and pay tribute to Coach and

Peg. The shirts were designed by our very own Madison Basler. Please show your support. I am

so proud of all these students who when I stated I didn't think we had time basically told me

to make time and we'll help. They make me a better person just like Coach makes Macon a better

place to call home.

FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) is the form that you must fill out if you want any financial

aid for college. Seniors applying for financial aid for the 2018-19 school year, may start applying October 1,

2017, using their 2016 tax return information. Before you can access the application, you will need a FSA ID.

Please go to fafsa.ed.gov and click on “FSA ID” to get started. This is an ID and password that you will need to

remember as long as you are a college student, because you and your parents will have to fill out a FAFSA eve-

ry year. Therefore, put your ID/Password in a safe place - your tax packet is the perfect place! Once you have

your ID and password, you are able to get started filling out the FAFSA

Important Info

Be scheduling those college visits! Get on campus and see what they have to offer. Before you leave though,

pick up a college visit day form from Mrs. Boling in the high school office so that it does not count against you.

Once you apply to the college(s) of your choice, stop by the counseling office and request your transcripts to be

sent. Once you receive your letter of acceptance, let us know and we will get your name on the senior board!

Any senior student who has a medical, physical, educational, or mental disability may be eligible for services

and/or financial assistance for post-secondary training or employment through Vocational Rehabilitation. This

can include college tuition. For information on applying to this agency, please contact Ms. Lisa Skelton in the

Career Center, room 170C (next to the elevator).

your email account regularly. This is how

scholarship opportunities, upcoming college

visits etc.

Seniors are allowed one visit per se-

their Junior and Senior years com-

bined. The bottom portion of the
