A Thought For The Week: “.....you can, you should, and if you're brave enough to start, you will.”

Schedules: We are officially done with schedule changes! Please remember that the deadline for schedule changes was last Friday, August 26th. No schedule changes will be made until the spring semester.

Seniors and Senior Parents: Stay tuned for your Senior Guidance talks coming up in September! We will go over post high school plans and provide great information about college applications, community college options, trade schools and military, as well as financial aid resources, including FAFSA and scholarship opportunities.

Parents, we will host an evening informational session after we finish our talks with seniors. Please reserve the evening of Thursday, September 29th for a google meet with us!

Juniors: The PSAT/NMSQT is coming up on SATURDAY, OCTOBER 15TH. We will be offering the test here at AGHS on that date to our JUNIOR class only. This test is a way for juniors to practice for the SAT and also to qualify for the National Merit Scholarship Program and other scholarship opportunities. Doing well on this test can earn juniors recognition they can put on their college applications next fall.

If you want to take this test, please fill out this FORM to register for the test. After completing the form, please pay the fee ($25.00) in our Student Business Office on campus or through our AGHS Webstore at this LINK.

Mental Health Counseling: AGHS does have mental health counselors on campus. If interested, your first step is to either set up an appointment to meet with your school counselor or ask to speak with Mrs. Martinez who is located in the administration office.

ELKS TEENAGER OF THE MONTH SCHOLARSHIP APPLICATION

The Oceano/Five Cities Elks Lodge #2504 selects an AGHS senior male and female each month based on achievements, character, leadership, service, citizenship and scholastics. The Teenager of the Month will be recognized at an Elk’s dinner and will then be eligible for selection of "Teenager of the Year". Monthly for the 22'23 School Year - Completed application should be submitted to Brianna.boyd@lmusd.org. Students only need to apply once. If your application is not chosen in a given month, it will be considered for the following month. The sooner you turn in an application, the more opportunities you will have for selection. At the end of April, we have a panel of Elks Members judge the Student of the Month Applications. From this pool, we will select one male and one female who will each receive a college scholarship.

Go to the AGHS Website under scholarships for more information or stop by the Career Center.
