Post-Secondary Highlights |
|
Curie’s Post-Secondary Leadership Team (PLT) wants to share some amazing highlights surrounding the class of 2022! We know this year has posed many challenges for you, but as usual, our Condors rise to the occasion. We also understand that some Condors may need additional support with these tasks. If you may need help, please reach out to Mr. Garcia, Curie’s College & Career Coach. Use this link to schedule a virtual meeting via Google Meet between 9-4PM.

One of the most important steps towards achieving your post-secondary goals is planning financially ahead. Financial aid is the best way to pay for post-secondary plans because, depending on your eligibility, you will have access to grants, special programs, or scholarships. We are pleased to share that 81.94% of the Class of 2022 has already completed this requirement!
As of today, 78% of seniors have filed their FAFSA successfully and given an estimated Expected Family Contribution (EFC). Once FAFSA has successfully submitted, this number determines how much their families contribute to their post-secondary plans. Currently, we have 6% of students still waiting for an EFC. Please reach out to Mr. Garcia, Curie’s College & Career Coach, to support you through this process if you are one of those students or one of the 16% that have yet to complete a financial application. (Use this link to schedule a virtual meeting via Google Meet between 9-4PM.)
Curie’s Post-secondary Team is here to support all Condors through the process of planning for the goals.

As you continue your search for post-secondary pathways, it’s important to consider the cost of attending. To help pay for school, consider applying for scholarships. One great tool to use is Academic Works, a tool created for CPS students to search for scholarships. In addition, many schools are already awarding scholarships to students. To help Curie keep an accurate picture of the money you’ve been awarded (and to highlight these accomplishments with the entire district) we’re asking you to report any awarded scholarships via Naviance. Here’s a quick video that shows you how to do it.

IB Diploma Program Scholarship Update |

Attention: Class of 2022 Graduation Photos |
|
Graduation photos are REQUIRED for all seniors. Seniors MUST pay at least a $25 deposit towards your Curie graduation fee to receive your cap and gown. The deposit or full fee can be submitted when school resumes. You can report to our main office or bookstore to pay the $25 deposit with a certified cashier's check or money order made out to "CURIE HS" or "CURIE HIGH SCHOOL". You can secure a money order from many locations including Walmart, Walgreens, CVS, and 7-Eleven.
Senior graduation pictures will take place on Friday, January 28. This is a scheduled non-attendance day for all CPS students. Seniors will wear their actual graduation attire for the pictures. Class of 2022 caps and gowns will be distributed the week of January 17-21.
Appointment times for January 28 will be assigned between 9 am and 3 pm and will be shared with students and families after winter break.
Photographers will be taking a head-and-shoulders shot and a 3/4 body pose. Shoes will not be visible in either pose. Student clothing will generally not be visible in these photos, except for collars and necklaces on top and sleeve cuffs for the 3/4 body pose.
We recommend students wear one of the following:
- a button-down dress shirt and tie
- a wide or V-neck collar that falls below the neckline of the gown
- a short necklace optional with collar that falls below gown
- a turtleneck shirt
Please see the attached photos from 2021 to see how various necklines will look in the cap and gown photos. T-shirts are not recommended, and students will be asked to remove hooded tops.
The make-up date for both required graduation photos and optional senior dress-up portraits (initially scheduled over the summer) will be Saturday, February 12, 2022. Only limited appointments will be available on this date. Make-up day appointment sign-ups will be first-come, first serve beginning on Saturday, January 29. Students who do not take photos on January 28 or February 12 will need to go to the Stuart-Rodgers Photography studio by Saturday, February 26 to make up their appointment. Again, appointments will be limited based on the photographer's schedule.
Remember, a graduation photo is NOT a guarantee of graduation. Please contact either the yearbook adviser or senior class sponsors for more information. Contact your counselor for more information about graduation requirements.
