Navasota HS Senior Accepted to Harvard University
Senior
Ramon Galvan has learned a great deal from his two-year process to
figure out where he will go and what he will do when his time at
Navasota High School is finished. While that process is not yet
complete, the big picture is starting to come into focus. Galvan was
both happy and relieved to find out last week that he has been accepted
to Harvard University.
Galvan
is among a number of NHS students who have received early acceptance
notices including Aubrey Armstrong (Texas), Trevor Savensky (A&M),
Kelsey Kehlenbeck (A&M), Austin Baumert (A&M), Colton Harris
(A&M), Leece Uilkie (Texas), Anthony Wiley (SFA, A&M-Corpus
Christi), and Karina Corona (SHSU). READ FULL STORY

R.S.V.P. Parent Corner: Campus Connections
 | |
Debra Rios
RSVP Program Director
|
Parent
Nights, Parenting Workshops, and Home Communication are some of the
many successful events the R.S.V.P. Parent Coordinators have stayed busy
with this semester. As the year goes on, we realize it is a large task
to manage all of the requests sent to the parent coordinators for home
visits. The Parent Coordinators will now have a designated individual
called the "Campus Connection" in which all concerns will go through.
The focus of the spring will be placed on curbing truancy through home
visits and communication. The Parent Coordinators will also be available
for students dealing with any disastrous unpredictable events. We hope
our new system will help better serve everyone.

Closing the Gaps: NHS, Sam Houston State Host College Financial Aid Information Night 
Navasota High School's FAFSA Night (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) was held Dec. 1. There was standing room only in the high school library as members of Sam Houston State University's Division of Enrollment Management department and NHS counselor Michelle Guthrie -in coordination with the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board and College for All Texans-presented
information to high school students and parents about seeking financial
aid for college through the federal government's student aid program.
One of the goals of the statewide Closing the Gaps
initiative is to increase the overall Texas higher education
participation rate by adding 630,000 more students by the year 2015.
SHSU has aligned its enrollment goals to support this statewide
initiative and, through the Go Kats Go Center, provides a setting in
which parents and students can feel comfortable in asking questions and
receiving help in the initial process of college preparation no matter
the student's college of interest.
The Go Kats Go Center
will return to Navasota High School March 1 (5-7:30 p.m.) to meet again
with students and parents. For more information, contact Michelle
Guthrie at Navasota High School (936-825-4250 or
