COUNSELORS CORNER

Did you know? Students are not required to have a foreign language to graduate from Combs High School, however, any student who is interested in going to a university will need 2 years of the same language in order to qualify for admission. Combs offers 3 different languages that students can focus on, Spanish, French, and German. Our foreign language teachers are highly qualified and not only offer students the chance to learn another language, but give students a glimpse into the culture and traditions of the countries which speak the language. An added bonus is that students can save hundreds of dollars by taking their language in high school versus a community college.


Upcoming Events:

  • February 25: ACT on Campus
  • February 27: ACCUPLACER test, administered by CAC
  • March 6: End of Quarter 3 and beginning of Spring Break
  • March 24: UofA on campus during Conference

SAY YES TO PROM!!!

Prom season is inching closer to us and it is time for students to start looking for their attire. For many, prom, is not an option due to the expense. Say Yes to Prom is here to help alleviate the stress and expense of the wardrobe. With over 1000 dresses, some men's attire, and accessories we can help everyone experience the magic of prom.
