February 2026

Happy February, Eagles!

Students are encouraged to drop in to the Career Center [Room 208] before school, at break, at lunch, or after school until 4 p.m. for help with college, career, and community service readiness!

You can also make an appointment with me. Remember to get approval from your teacher.
 

College Happenings

FAFSA Completion Days! Happening Feb. 3 & 4

FAFSA/CADAA Completion Days Feb. 3 & 4

Filling out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid [FAFSA} or California Dream Act [CADAA] is a state requirement for every senior! It is also the first step to college financial aid.

On Feb, 3 & 4 during Gov & Econ classes, seniors will head to the Counseling Hub (rooms 514 & 515) to complete their part of the form(s) or opt out entirely.

Students should have a CHARGED CHROMEBOOK, Social Security Number in a safe place, and parent or guardian's email address.

Cash for College Thurs. Feb. 5th

When seniors finish their part of the FAFSA/CADAA, the parent whose email was used has another section to finish!

Need help? We will have TWO MORE Cash for College Workshops: This Thursday, Feb. 5 and one last one on Tuesday, Feb. 24.

Bilingual Spanish-speaking experts will help with the FAFSA or the California Dream Act. Bring a charged Chromebook and your 2024 taxes. DROP IN to the AGHS Library anytime between 4 and 6:30 p.m. to get help.
