There are new scholarships available on the guidance page on the CHS website. Go check them out! Continue to check back for updates.

Good morning, Please remember that completing the FAFSA is now a graduation requirement! All students planning to go on to college should complete FAFSA if they haven't already done so. If your student is not planning to attend college, they can complete the waiver which can be found on the guidance page on the CHS website or your student can stop by the guidance office for a copy. When completed it needs submitted to the guidance office to cover the graduation requirement. We will be checking very soon to see who still needs to meet this requirement! Also, many scholarships have been added to the guidance page and we will continue to add them as they come into our office. Please go check them out! Please contact your student's counselor with any questions. Thank you, Allison Meeker and Beth Nelson Allison Meeker Guidance Counselor Charleston High School P: (217) 639-5014
