Both the Beta Club and National Honor Society offer free peer-to-peer tutoring before or after school. Additional information on private tutoring may be available upon request. The State Library of Louisiana also offers Homework LA, free online homework and tutoring in core subjects.
Scholarship Opportunities
Scholarship opportunities, requirements, and deadlines are communicated through the guidance office to students and their families as they become available.
Transcripts
Students in grade 10 – 12 receive an updated high school transcript each fall from their guidance counselor. Students should keep this copy handy throughout the school year for their needs. Seniors will receive a seven semester transcript after the semester one grades are checked. Current students should see their guidance counselor for any questions about their transcript.
