Career Compass is committed to their goal of helping graduating seniors make a realistic post-secondary plan, as well as help them in FAFSA completion.  They have begun reaching out to students via email, text and phone calls to continue their work with the students.  They are also trying to see which ones need some additional help with the FAFSA application.  The following link allows Career Compass to gather contact information from those who would like to take advantage of the access to their FAFSA coaches.

PARENTS/GUARDIANS, 

WE WANT YOUR HELP! 

Our school will be conducting surveys to learn more about key areas of strength and areas of needed growth in our school. In order for us to have a holistic picture of what is going on in our school, we are asking all full-time staff members, parents/guardians, and students in Grade 4 and up to participate.

 The parent/guardian survey takes about 12 minutes to complete and will ask questions about your child and about his or her experience in our school. If you have more than one child attending the school, you will be asked to think about the oldest child's experiences as you answer questions related to his or her growth.

 Please take this survey: https://www.leaderinme.com/s/centerville-high-la/parent

 STUDENTS WE WANT YOUR HELP!

 As we are participating in the Leader in Me process, we want to hear from you!

We look forward to hearing your voice on how you feel about our school! Please do your best to answer honestly, so we can work together to improve our school community.
