12th graders:  October is Countdown to College Month in North Carolina.  CHS will host a College Application Week during the week of 10/21.  During that week, you can sign up to receive 1-on-1 assistance in the Media Center for a number of things regarding college admissions:  creating your CFNC account and completing the NC Residency Determination for in-state tuition, creating your CommonApp account and/or linking it to your Naviance account, establishing your FSA ID so that you can begin your FAFSA, applying to colleges, searching for scholarships, simply talking about what your options are for after graduation, and more.  You can make an appointment for that week at http://bit.ly/2khTZ5W, or lunches will have walk-in availability.  During this week only, certain 4-yr NC colleges will be waiving application fees for all applicants (students eligible for fee waivers can use those throughout the year) - see http://bit.ly/C2Cfreeapps to view which schools.
