It's hard to believe that we've finished the first month of school already! We are excited as we watch students engaging in their classes and working hard.

There are several exciting things coming up for students to be aware of. On September 3, Seniors will have the opportunity to participate in Application Day. Several colleges will be on campus to answer questions, give information, and help students apply. Also, our support groups are up and running....students needing help with anxiety, grief, or anger management are encouraged to pick up a permission slip in room 538. Groups are approximately 8 weeks long and we focus on talking through and coping with the various struggles that students face.

Other upcoming events:

• September 3: College Fair and Application day for Seniors.
• September 16: Grand Canyon University Field Trip
• September 17: CAC visit in the College/Career center
• October 2: EVIT assembly for Sophomores
• October 16: PSAT (see Mrs. McDowell in the counseling office for details)
• October 16: SAT (see Mrs. McDowell in the counseling office for details)
• October 21: Northern Arizona University field trip

We are excited to offer the Principal’s Pass to our 10th, 11th and 12th grade students that received a 3.3 GPA or higher in the Spring semester.

This Principals Pass will allow students to gain FREE admission to our home athletic events. We have over 200 students that have qualified for this recognition.

If you are a 9th grader, you can earn the Principals Pass by earning a 3.3 GPA or higher this first semester at Combs High School.

For students that have not received their pass, they will be available in the bookstore beginning Monday August 26th.
