Results will be released as the King and Queen will be crowned before the homecoming game Friday, Sept 15.

Freshmen were sent home with an info sheet along with an application. 2/3 of the program is reserved for potential first generation college students and/or low socio-economic students. If you are interested, please contact our local advisor Sara Pierce at spiecrce@parisjc.edu or check out their website at https://www.parisjc.edu/main/trio-day-at-pjc-2019/ Anyone in other grades that would like information or an application, please stop by Mrs. Sample's office where there are extras!

High School families may not know that applying for Free and Reduced lunches through the school district means that you might also be eligible for other benefits such as FREE dual credit courses, FREE college admissions testing (SAT & ACT), FREE college application fee waivers (where accepted), FREE college registration (dorms, orientation, etc) where accepted. You don't have to eat in the cafeteria... although you can if approved. These benefits alone can add up to huge savings for your family! Think of it like "FAFSA for high school."
