Financial Aid:
Please be aware that the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) is now available as of October 1, 2016. This is a much earlier rollout of the FAFSA than the Jan. 1 date that had been used last year. Students seeking financial aid should fill out the FAFSA and submit it to each college by the deadline set by each college. The following websites will be helpful:
www.pin.ed.gov
-
Website where both students and parents acquire a pin number for the FASFA Form.
www.finaid.org -
A free, comprehensive, independent and objective guide to student financial aid.
While all colleges will require the FAFSA, some colleges also require the CSS Profile that asks for more detailed information. Please check each college to which you are applying to see whether or not they require the CSS profile. The CSS Profile is found at
www.student.collegeboard.org/css-financial-aid-profile
.

The St. Thomas Aquinas Scholars Program took a field trip to New Haven, CT on Thursday. The students toured Yale University, learning about the history of the campus and city as well as the mystery behind the beautiful architecture... and even ate with the college students in the campus dining hall, The Commons! The students were also led by docents around the Yale University Center for British Art. They learned about literacy in the arts, and made connections to their knowledge of empire-building from World History. The students impressed the docents and their campus tour guide with their knowledge, excitement and enthusiastic nature! The Scholars Program students engage in cultural, academic and experiential trips/events that enhance their educational experience here at TCHS. 
Despite a postponement due to weather, The Senior Class hosted the annual Freshman- Senior Picnic on Thursday October 6th . It took place on a beautiful day and many activities happened on our new turf field. The color team tee shirts were creative, the games included Clump, Rock-Tree-Bridge, Trivia and other fun activities.. Parents and Faculty helped cook burgers and dogs for lunch. It was a fun day for everyone.!
