ISU CONSTRUCTION COMBINE: Applications Due March 22nd

Inspired by the NFL draft, the Construction Combine allows trainees to demonstrate their skills and learn new ones. They meet with local contractors and could possibly get hired for a job.
- Day 1: Training sessions cover framing, concrete, electrical, plumbing, drywall, flooring, siding, and welding
- Day 2: New skills will be demonstrated by building sheds with area contractors. The sheds will be donated to local disabled veterans.

COLLEGE & CAREER ADVISORS
Folks,
Below are thanks and a couple of items for your calendar. Daylight savings is here
already. The rest of the school year will go by in a shot. Pay attention to this blog for all
the important info.
Higher Ed + Day was a Hit !
Kudos to the junior class who participated in our Higher Ed + Day last Friday, March 8 th .
There were 15 different sessions to meet the interests of just about every student. Fully
one-half of the junior class attended all three sessions of their choice, and three-
quarters of the class attended at least one session. Looking ahead, thinking, asking,
planning, researching: a recipe for success. Many thanks to the faculty and staff at
Highland who were patient while 300 students circulated through the halls at odd times.
All-School FAFSA Night – Thursday, March 14th
Jenni Kimball from the Idaho Office of the State Board of Education will be here in
Pocatello this Thursday, March 14th , to help any all students (or older siblings or other
family members) get their FAFSAs done in time for the March 31st deadline for State of
Idaho scholarships. It will be held in the cafeteria at Pocatello High School, starting at 6
pm. This is yet another great opportunity to get this important document completed.
Remember:
- Create your FSA ID ahead of time. You’ll need your own S.S. # and the date of birth for any parent / guardian you receive support from. If you are older and doing a FAFSA, you will need the S.S. # and date of birth of your spouse. If you earned standard W-2 wages in 2022, you could bring those but hopefully won’t need them. If you are a small business owner, self-employed, own a farm or a ranch, best to bring your 2022 taxes with you. A student’s fully charged Chromebook and a fully charged cell phone should do the trick. Just ask the CCAs if you want some help preparing for FAFSA Night.
Tech Expo – Thursday, March 14th
On Thursday, March 14th , Idaho State University will be hosting its annual Tech Expo.
Held in Holt (oops, ICCU) Arena, this year’s Expo, will have more than 70 displays and
booths related to education and career opportunities in the tech areas. Students will
depart school at 11 am, and leave to return to school at 12 noon. This is valuable
exposure to Idaho’s impressive array of industries and career fields related to
technology. Watch this blog for more information in the weeks ahead because there are
only 40 slots for Highland students.
Students will need
1) permission to be absent from their 2nd and 3rd hour teachers,
2) permission from their school counselor, and
3) will sign up with the CCAs. To learn more about Tech Expo on ISU’s website, go to:
https://www.isu.edu/techexpo/ .
ISU Signing Day – Tuesday, March 26th
Watch this blog for more information about the annual ISU Signing Day event. It will be
Tuesday, March 26th , here at school. Senior students who plan to enroll at ISU will be
honored and recognized during this morning gathering that celebrates the
accomplishments and ambitions of our graduating seniors. Parents, families, and
supporters are invited to join us for cheer and celebration. More details will follow.
Scholarships, Scholarships, Scholarships
Seniors, apply, apply, apply to scholarships, scholarships, scholarships. February,
March, and the first half of April are prime times to be making and submitting
scholarship applications. The CCAs are emphatic in their plea that seniors apply to all
the scholarships that might marginally apply to you. If you have been accepted to a 2- or
4-year college, apply to scholarships on those school websites, and then look farther
afield. Some scholarship research tips:
- Use an incognito window.
- Who do your parents / guardian work for? See if they offer scholarships to the children of employees.
- Do you have a special talent or activity – music, art, hiking, yoga, childcare? Google those skills and talents and see if there is scholarship money.
- If you have a specific career goal – the health professions, teaching, history – look up the professional organizations for each and query “college scholarships.” For example, I just typed in “Occupational Therapy College Scholarships,” and I found the Wise Scholarship, scholarships aligned to specific colleges, and a link to AMBUCS (not sure what that stands for, but they have scholarships, so hey, we’re looking into it).
Enjoy your spring break. Be safe. Rest up. Take a load off. Buckle up for the second
half of the trimester, baseball, track, softball, and all the good stuff around graduation.
Your friendly neighborhood CCAs,
Alice Rowe
