Students and their parents often mistakenly believe that they won't be qualified for financial aid. Here are some common misconceptions, and the TRUTH about the FAFSA and California Dream Act applications.
So...#WhatAreYouWaitingFor | #GetYourMoney | #ApplyNow | #SeeSurberForHelp  On October 8th, eleven of Ms. Swarner's Biotechnology students attended the stem cell culture day at SF City College. Students worked with automatic serological pipets, inverted microscope, Chinese Hamster Ovary (CHO) stem cells, laminar flow hoods and more! Students viewed CHO cells prior to fluorescence, then they cleaned, aspirated and added dye to stem cells. During the 30 minute incubation, students interviewed professors, graduates from UC Santa Cruz, and community college students on careers in science and pathways to get there. After 30 minutes students viewed the stem cells. Viable cells were fluorescent and were viewed using the inverted microscope. This incredible opportunity exposed students to careers, summer course opportunities, and they had an amazing day at SFCC! Students had a chance to visit with representatives from Santa Rosa Junior College, Napa Valley College, Pacific Union College, Grand Canyon University, Sonoma State University, Cal Maritime, and Washington State during our first ever CATvisory college fair. Afterwards, students were invited to stay and have lunch with the Puerta and Educational Opportunity Program representatives from Sonoma State to learn about these valuable programs available to first generation college students. Mr. Parry & Ms. Surber took several construction students to the Careers in Construction Opportunity Fair hosted by the North Bay Construction Corps. Students learned about the many benefits of a career in construction and had an opportunity to speak with industry professionals from various trades.
All seniors participated in this workshop focused on important information and deadlines for senior year. Please make an appointment with Ms. Surber in the College & Career Center if you have any questions at all about career exploration, college applications, or financial aid.
Saying things out loud makes them happen! #BetterMakeRoom for these WildcatsOn Friday, April 21, while the Senior High School students participated in Every 15 Minutes, the entire Junior High traveled to Angel Island to learn about the island's important role in our immigration history. Students and staff took a ferry to the island, hiked to the immigration station, and then had lunch on a beautiful beach overlooking the bay. |
