If you are interested in applying to a Service Academy this is a great opportunity to get information and express interest. Information is available on the Class of 2026 Canvas page. If you are not able to attend (it is in New Orleans) you can e-mail or call for more information.

 

Seniors- The FAFSA is now available at studentaid.gov The FAFSA is a free financial aid application to help you pay the cost of college or technical training after high school. This application will cover TOPS, federal grants (money that does not have to be paid back), and student loans (money that does have to be paid back). Many colleges require you to complete this application, so check the requirements for the schools that you want to attend.

When completing the FAFSA, you will need to submit the 2026-2027 application (the year you will begin attending college)

 

 

Seniors- Transcripts are now available to be picked up in the Counseling Office. Students can use this information when applying to colleges. Transcripts cannot be e-mailed or sent through Canvas. All public colleges/universities in Louisiana have access to your transcript through the Student Transcript System and we should not have to mail them.  They will notify you if they were not able to access it. If you are applying to an out of state or private college/ university, or a Louisiana school that could not access through the state transcript system, your transcript must be mailed.  You must pay for the transcript on locallevelevents.com AND complete the Google form so we will know where to send the transcript. If you are applying through the Common App, you do not have to mail your transcript. These will be sent electronically.

ACT scores must be sent from a student’s myact account.
