For the 2020-2021 Academic Year, see the tuition waivers for juniors and seniors below:
Juniors will receive a full tuition waiver for up to 9 credit hours. Juniors are only covered for 9 credit hours meaning they are able to take up to 9 hours for the year (summer, fall, spring).

Seniors will receive a full tuition waiver for up to 18 credit hours. Seniors are only covered for 18 credit hours meaning they are able to take up to 18 hours for the year (summer, fall, spring).

Southwestern College will be mailing out FULL TUITION SCHOLARHIP applications on December 1st to any Senior student that completes the CONTACT ME FOR THE 2021 COMPETITION.There are two competitions, The Pillars and Moundbuilder Spirit competition. The Pillars is geared towards an academically driven student and the Moundbuilder Spirit is meant for a student that is engaged and active in their community or high school. Unlike some competitions, we do not base the competitions on GPA or ACT to determine who can compete. There are four full tuition scholarships (two for each competition) awarded each year to students that take part in our competition and each student that participates is awarded a renewable $1,000 scholarship.
First, I'm excited to announce two partnerships with scholarship providers to offer $25,000 scholarships to 30 deserving students. That's $750,000 in award money! These are: the Foot Locker Student-Athlete Scholarship and the 1 for 2 Education Foundation Scholarship (see below for more details). As always, you'll get access to all our scholarship listings by signing up for a counselor account.
In addition, we've partnered with schools and districts across the country (including the New York City Department of Education) to sponsor the FAFSA® Made Easier and make it free for students to use.
Here's how it works:
Your seniors can use our form (with simplified questions, tax form previews, searchable FAQs, and expert help via chat/email), instead of the government one.
You and other counselors/administrators can see detailed, real-time reporting of each student's progress through the FAFSA® form, including which section a student is stuck on.
For all this, your school/district pays a reduced rate of $10 per senior. See the brochure here, or schedule a no-commitment FAFSA® demo.
Kind regards,
Charlie Maynard
Co-founder & CEO

Test-Optional Admissions
Many colleges in Oklahoma have changed to test-optional admissions processes for this year's seniors. BUT, most scholarships still require ACT or SAT scores to be eligible.
Make sure your students stay on top of testing dates this year. You may even be able to help them earn an ACT fee waiver and make college that much more affordable.

Regarding the Oklahoma’s Promise scholarship program. This message is for all college students who graduated high school in 2018 and thereafter.Remember, there are some very important requirements that could affect your award in college.The $100,000 second income limit is checked EACH year for ALL OKPromise students enrolled in postsecondary education, not just entering freshmen. This means that all OKPromise students must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) each year. Any year that the student does not receive the award because their income exceeds the income limit will count toward the five-year period of scholarship eligibility.OKPromise will not pay for non-credit remedial courses in college.OKPromise students graduating high school in 2018 and thereafter may not receive total award payments for more than 129 semester credit hours during their five years of scholarship eligibility, unless their degree program requires more hours.Don't forget! The 2021-2022 FAFSA opened October 1, 2020!More information about these and other changes is available on the College Students page of the OKPromise website.Oklahoma’s PromiseOklahoma State Regents for Higher Educationokpromise@osrhe.eduwww.okpromise.org1.800.858.1840

Local Restaurants:

Emergency Site: Cimarron Memorial Hospital, 100 S. Ellis, 580-544-2501
Visitor Seating is located on the east side of the field. There are no guidelines as far COVID is concerned, but they are taking proper precautions. They do have construction going on, so fans will not be able to drive around the square to get to the football field. The easiest way to get to the field is to turn right at Dollar General. Drive until you come to a two-way stop and turn left. From there you will be able to drive and make any right heading north and it will take you to the football field. Fans are allowed to drive their vehicles to the visitor seating area. Please drive through the north gate. They will have someone there to take money for admittance.
Concessions will be available.
We have an exciting update here at the University of Oklahoma: We have added test-optional scholarships for students entering OU during the 2021-22 school year! Students who apply as a test-optional applicant will be considered holistically for scholarships. This means all admitted students who have at least a 3.25 scholarship GPA will receive a scholarship. Students are still encouraged to submit a test score to ensure the highest scholarship and the fastest notification of an award.
At the same time, there was no tuition increase for the 2020-21 school year, marking the third straight year tuition has been the same rate. Our goal as an institution is to increase college education access and recognize deserving students, and these increases demonstrate that commitment. As a university committed to academics and our students, we are taking action to make OU more affordable.
Encourage your students to apply to OU by Nov. 1, our early action admission deadline, to receive priority consideration for OU's merit-based awards.
See the latest scholarship amounts, and please feel free to contact your OU admissions counselor, Artemio Castillon, at acastillon@ou.edu or 405-325-2151.

2021 U.S. Presidential Scholar Recommendations Due October 30
Presidential Scholar pic
The Oklahoma State Department of Education is soliciting recommendations of our State's top scholars for the prestigious U.S. Presidential Scholars Program recognition award. We ask that educators submit information for an outstanding SENIOR student graduating between January and June 2021 who you believe will represent the State of Oklahoma well if selected as a U.S. Presidential Scholar. Scholars will be selected based on outstanding leadership in the areas of academic achievement, community involvement, and positive character. As you form your recommendation, consider what makes the student stand out as having exemplary scholarship. Has the student overcome special challenges or hurdles while still achieving high academic success? Has the student engaged in consistent service learning that has impacted the school and community? Does the student exhibit innate leadership qualities that build relationships and empower others. We invite you to tell their story. Be their champion for this honor of excellence.
The U.S. Presidential Scholars Program (USPSP) was established in 1964, by executive order of the President, to recognize and honor some of our nation's most distinguished graduating high school seniors. In 1979, the program was extended to recognize students who demonstrate exceptional talent in the visual, creative and performing arts. In 2015, the program was again extended to recognize students who demonstrate ability and accomplishment in career and technical education fields. Each year, up to 161 students are named as Presidential Scholars, one of the nation's highest honors for high school students. Recommend an Oklahoma Senior using the link below. (STUDENTS CAN ONLY BE NOMINATED THROUGH THEIR STATE AGENCY. DO NOT SUBMIT DIRECTLY TO USPSP.)
U.S PRESIDENTIAL SCHOLAR RECOMMENDATION FORM
DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSION IS FRIDAY, OCTOBER 30, 2020. Note: Recommendations do not guarantee nomination. More than one student from each school can be submitted for recommendation. Make sure your district is represented in the pool of prospective nominations! For questions about this process, email petra.woodard@sde.ok.gov.

If students are unable to hold leadership positions this year due to the pandemic, they can submit the position they held during the 2019-2020 academic year.

As I reflect back on this first week of school, my thoughts always come back to the character that our students have shown as we have started the school year. I know there have been challenges and I anticipate that there will be many as we work our way through the year.
The characteristics of a TROJAN are generally described as a BRAVE, HARDWORKING, and DETERMINED individual who protects the ancient City of Troy.
I can’t think of a better way to describe how are parents, teachers, and students have responded to this pandemic.
So Parents and Community thank you so much for helping us get the school year started as we try to instill the characteristics of a TROJAN into each one of our students. I know your students will benefit from attending Sharon-Mutual Public Schools.
In closing I want to re-assure you that our teachers are a BRAVE, HARDWORKING, and DETERMINED group of individuals who will do everything they can to protect your students.
Remember: TROJAN PRIDE NEVER DIES!!

College Board Opportunity Scholarships
Deadline July 31, 2020
The disruption from school closings is hard to navigate, but like you, the College Board is committed to ensuring rising seniors don’t lose college planning momentum. The College Board Opportunity Scholarships program is open to all students from the class of 2021 and guides them through important steps in the college planning process at their own pace at home.
When students take the first two steps—exploring college and practicing for the SAT®—they’ll qualify for $500 and $1,000 scholarships just by getting ready for college. And they don’t even have to get off the couch.
Help students build a college list: This $500 scholarship closes on July 31 for the class of 2021. Students can use their mobile phones or any other device to build a start list of colleges using the college planning site BigFuture™.
Support your students with SAT practice: Students become eligible for a $1,000 scholarship when they practice for at least 6 hours with Official SAT Practice on Khan Academy®.
It’s important to encourage students to complete the first step—building a college list—by July 31 so they don’t miss out on a chance to win $40,000 for college.
This resource contains more information about supporting students at home to complete the first two steps: Build Your College List and Practice for the SAT. Students can head to cb.org/opportunity to get started.
Any student participating in ANY extra curricular activity needs a sports physical before beginning that sport. Alliance Health Care is offering free physicals through July 31.

Feel free to contact me if you have any questions or if you want to check and see if you have ordered a book. bngreen@smps.k12.ok.us Also, remember, you can order a free digital copy.

Parents, we need your help! Some of the high school students are not turning in their work. Please make sure your students are completing the assignments in Spark or the paper work which has been sent to them if internet access is not available and returning the completed assignments to the teachers. This is work which is beneficial to the students and we don't want their skills to slip. It will be difficult for teachers in the future to write recommendation letters for scholarships and opportunities if students are not turning in their work and finishing out the year since the opportunity is available to them. They are welcome to accelerate through in classes where they can and get the year wrapped up, but it is important that they finish. Thanks for your support!

Career Tech UPDATED ENROLLMENT PROCEDURES!
First - thank you all so much for working with us this year on our new enrollment process. - especially now with everything you all have going on! I know your worlds are CRAZY and I genuinely appreciate everything you all do for us!!!
Due to the Covid 19 quarantine, we will be making some changes for the Fall 2020 enrollment. These changes will only affect new students wanting to attend Career Tech. Our current students have already enrolled with us for next year and do not need to do anything else – unless they are changing programs, for example, an Auto student who wants Health next year will have to go through the Health Careers interview process.
Below is a list of the changes that are being made for entrance into our programs:
1. Auto: Interviews will be held in August
2. Construction: Interviews will be held in August
3. Diesel: Interviews will be held in August
4. Health Careers: Interviews will be conducted through the month of April. Please have your students call Don Gaines at 512-705-2267 to set up an interview. Students will need to either fax or e-mail their two required reference forms and questionnaire to: dgaines@hptc.edu or fax – 580-571-6180.
5. Marketing Management: Interviews will be conducted through the month of April. Please have your students call Katrina McDowell at 580-571-6170 to schedule an interview. Students will need to email or fax the one required reference to: kmcdowell@hptc.edu or fax – 580-571-6180.
6. Multimedia: Interviews will be conducted through the month of April. Please have your students call Richard Kirksey at 405-630-7743to schedule an interview. Students will need to email or fax the two required references and questionnaire to: rkirksey@hptc.edu or fax – 580-571-6180.
7. Freshman TAP – Interviews will be conducted through the month of April. Please have students call Danna Goss at 580-243-8416
The following programs have open enrollment and do not require an entrance interview – BAM, Service Careers and Welding.
In order to set up an interview, please have the student call the instructor, and then the instructor will set up a zoom meeting with the student. After they have all their meetings, I will send a list of the students who interviewed, and request a copy of their transcripts and attendance records from the school.
If you have any questions or concerns, please call me on my cell - 580-254-4789 and PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF THERE IS ANYTHING I CAN DO TO HELP YOU GUYS!!!!
If you have items in your lockers at the high school, please come to the school today or tomorrow between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. to pick them up. If you are unable to pick it up this week, please call the high school office to make arrangements to pick it up next week. Any items not picked up will be donated.
There will be no career tech classes the remainder of the school year. Students will have the grade for credit they had at the end of the third 9 weeks. In addition, there will be no sophomore TAP next year.
Students, hope you're taking time out from online learning to get some exercise, take up some new hobbies, or spend time with your family making some special memories. Don't stress over the challenges of learning online. Keep in touch with your teachers by email and let them know if you're having problems or if you have questions.
Parents, it's important to keep your students emotionally healthy during this time. Encourage them to learn some new skills like building items out of recycled materials, crocheting, take them fishing or bike riding. Plan a picnic together. Take advantage of this time to have some fun together. It's important to give them purpose and fun along with their studies. This is such a contrast to the time they are accustomed to spending with friends and schoolmates they may experience some emotional lows.
If there's anything you need help with or if you have questions, feel free to contact any of your teachers or Mrs. Hopper as counselor. Stay healthy! Hope to have life back to normal soon!

College can be expensive. That’s why scholarships for women are so valuable. First, they help lower the cost of going to school, which is worthwhile in itself. Second, they are only open to female students, making them potentially less competitive.
If you have a female student getting ready to head to college, here is the ultimate list of scholarships for women and girls.
If your student isn’t sure what degree she will pursue or simply wants to apply for awards that don’t require a specific major, general scholarships are an excellent choice. This site includes scholarships that aren’t restricted to specific fields, making them more flexible than some other options, like scholarships for women in STEM.
Apply today!

Concurrent enrollment (college classes while in high school) is available to juniors and seniors with tuition paid by the Oklahoma State Regents for seniors on 18 hours and NWOSU will waive tuition on 6 hours for juniors. Students pay only the class fees and for books. Check with the registrar's office at the college you choose to see how much the fees are. Students have to have at least a 19 in reading and a 19 in any subject area they wish to take classes in on their ACT. That's one more reason it's important for students to begin taking their ACT. I recommend once toward the end of the year their freshman and sophomore years and 2-4 times their junior and senior year. Get signed up at actstudent.org. Mrs. Hopper can help you to see if you qualify to take concurrent classes and help you get signed up.
Check out Oklahoma's Promise for your students in grades 8-10 at https://www.okhighered.org/okpromise/. It is a tuition payment program for qualifying students whose family has an adjusted gross income of $55,000 or less.
Scholarship available - grades 9-12
The Oklahoma Scholarship Competition provides an opportunity for Oklahoma high school students to earn cash scholarships and tuition grants for college. With at least ten scholarships in each county available, students compete based on their knowledge of Oklahoma history, our people, and geography.
This program is designed to reward Oklahoma students who have taken an interest in the rich history of our great state. It is hoped students will be encouraged to stay in state to attend college and remain living and working in Oklahoma after receiving their degrees.
For convenience and wider statewide access, this year's Oklahoma Scholarship Competition will be 100% online. This timed test will be available all day on Saturday, March 28th. Students in grades 9-12 are eligible to participate in the exam. All students must pre-register by Friday, March 13th at 5 p.m.
To see a list of scholarships available in each county, to register for the test, and to download a study guide, visit https://oklahoma-hof.com/scholarships or call 405-235-4458.
