Seniors - The FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student AID) is now available.  Please see this post for information on the Financial Aid process.  Financial Aid deadlines are quickly approaching.  All students applying for financial aid at a public, private, or community college will need to fill out the FAFSA.

Upcoming SAT/ACT Dates

The spring SAT and ACT dates are quickly approaching.  We recommend that juniors sign up for at least one of the dates below.  Regisration takes place on the College Board's website (SAT) www.collegeboard.com or www.actstudent.org (ACT).  Hull High is a test center for the May SAT.  If you are part of the Free and/or Reduced Lunch Program, please stop by the guidance office to pick up a fee waiver (we can give students two SAT waivers and two ACT waivers in their career).

Two important upcoming events:

1.  Thursday, March 7th is our annual Junior Parent College Application Evening.  We will begin at 6:30 with a presentation and then Kelly Montrym, an Admissions Counselor from Boston College will speak about the admissions process and answer any of your questions.  This is HIGHLY recommended for all students and parents in the class of 2014!

2.  Starting on February 25th, Ms. Vaughan and Mrs. Kelliher will be working with Mr. Trombly's US History I classes on a college/career research project.  Students will take a personality profile and career inventory, research college requirments, and learn how to use Family Connection (our college application management system).  Students who successfully complete all parts of the project will be eligible to go on a field trip to Curry College in March.  If you are interested in viewing the results of your students personality profile, please email his/her counselor for instructions on how to log-on (results won't be available until February 27th).
