Scholarship Opportunities

 Dear Students and Parents, 

As a school counselor I know that many of you have concerns about how to make a college education more affordable. Through a new program called RaiseMe, students can guarantee scholarships from 250+ colleges as early as 9th grade, making it easier to plan financially for school. RaiseMe has proven to be a great tool to motivate students in high schools throughout the U.S.

As an example: 

• Get an A in a course ($100 - $1,000) 

• Get a B in a course ($50-$600) 

• Participate in a school club or sport ($25 - $250) 

• And much more! 

Chadron High School is among the first in the country to take advantage of this opportunity, which was launched with the support of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and U.S. colleges. Here are a couple of easy ways to support your students in using this unique tool:

1) Ensure that your student creates an account at www.raise.me. 

2) Encourage your student to regularly add good grades, community service, extracurricular activities, and other achievements to his or her RaiseMe Portfolio to earn micro-scholarships from colleges. 

3) Visit www.raise.me/parents for more information. We hope using RaiseMe will make your student’s path to college both more fun and affordable.

Sincerely,

Mrs. Watson

Homecoming Dance (Oct. 23rd)

The homecoming dance will take place on October 23rd from 8:00 pm to 12:00 am. This year's homecoming will be held on a Saturday due to the cross country team potentially not being able to make it due to state. We, the student council, also came to the conclusion that it will be easier to host a homecoming dance on a Saturday so that we will all have more time to get ready before the dance. We will also be able to host the dance earlier because of this slight change. 

 

We look forward to homecoming week and hope you plan on attending as many activities as possible!
