MP Profile
Meet Lauren Epps. She is married to her best friend and biggest cheerleader, Matt. Together they have a betta fish, Dumbo, and an ancient yellow lab, Lady. She is in her second year as an English teacher. What is the best part about her job? "I love the 'AHA!' moment my students get when they understand something that's been difficult for them." In her spare time, she enjoys watching Netflix, "way too much." If she could go back in time, she would like to go back to 1976 so she could buy stock in Apple and be super rich. If she did not have to sleep, she would use the extra time to "finally catch up on grading." When people come to her for help, they usually want help with "How do you spell this word?" or "Can I put a comma here?" Her mom has influenced her life the most. What keeps her up at night? "My husband, who always wants to show me 'just one more' funny YouTube video."

Attention Seniors
The FAFSA® is the application that students must complete to apply for federal student aid, which can be used to attend an eligible college or career school. Federal student aid includes Federal Pell Grants, federal student loans, and work-study opportunities. In addition to determining eligibility for federal student aid, many states, private organizations, colleges, and career schools rely on information from the FAFSA to determine eligibility for nonfederal sources of aid.
ALL students must complete this form regardless of parent income.
