Also, congratulations to our varsity cheer competition squad as they placed 3rd in their division at the UCA cheer competition this past Saturday.
Our Firebird Special Olympic Athletes along with the Unified Champions club members attended the Special Olympics with basketball events. Congratulations to all of our winners from Mr Pitts' and Mr Boykin's classes. It looked like they all had a great time! We are so proud of all those who participated in this event!
Come out and cheer on the varsity football team on Friday as they host Harnett Central for the first round of football playoffs. The student section theme will be Superheroes!

New: FAFSA
The FAFSA form is scheduled to open December 1st. You can access it at https://studentaid.gov/h/apply-for-aid/fafsa. By completing the FAFSA, you are applying for State and federal grants, scholarships, institutional funding, and federal student loans Click HERE to view FAFSA tutorial videos and HERE for other FAFSA resources. There will be several FAFSA workshops held throughout the county for those who need help completing the FAFSA. I will share more information with you as it becomes available.
Important: Linking your CommonApp and SchoolLinks Accounts
If you are applying to college using the CommonApp, you must link your CommonApp and SchoolLinks accounts before counselors and teachers can submit recommendation letters and transcripts. Let your counselor and recommenders know when you add them to your CommonApp. They do not know you need them to login and submit recommendation letters and transcripts if you do not tell them.
To access SchoolLinks you will go into your NCEdCloud, click on Clever, and then click on SchoolLinks. You can use the video below to show you how to link your accounts.

College Applications
You can apply to most NC colleges at www.cfnc.org.
Most of you will have already created an account in homeroom last year. Make sure that your email address and your Student ID number are saved in your account profile
Go to www.cfnc.org -> click on Apply to College-> click on Application Hub->from here you will be able to select the college you want to complete an application for.
You can also send your transcript to colleges by using the CFNC Application Hub
For more information about the college application process visit https://www.cfnc.org/apply-to-college/college-application-resources/college-application-faq/
A few colleges such as NC State and UNC-Chapel Hill do not use CFNC. You will need to apply at https://www.commonapp.org/.
Residency Determination Service
As part of the college application process, you must go to www.ncresidency.org and complete the Residency Determination Service. Take your time and be careful! This is how colleges determine whether you have to pay in-state or out-of-state tuition. There is a big difference in cost so don’t just guess at your answers! Your login information is the same as your CFNC.org account information. This needs to be done with a parent/guardian.

Transcripts can be sent to North Carolina colleges through www.cfnc.org. A "how to" video is below. If you applied using the Common App your counselor will upload your transcript to Schoollinks as part of the School Report we have to submit. You have to link your CommonApp and SchoolLinks account for us to be able to do our parts though. Click here to send your transcript to an out-of-state college.
