Fall is a busy time for seniors. The Free Application for Federal Student Aid, or FAFSA, window for completion opened on October 1, college applications have opened for next fall, and scholarship applications are plentiful. Whether you’ve already chosen your major and what college you’re attending or you’re not even sure what you’re doing yet, preparing for college is overwhelming, no matter what step you’re on. I currently feel like I’m at the bottom of a mountain, looking up to the top and wondering how I’m supposed to get there with only my own two feet. To help you get to the top, The Squire is here to share information to help you prepare successfully, step by step.
This year, Eisenhower High School welcomes a brand new assistant principal: Mrs. Natalie Black. Many students already recognize Mrs. Black from previously being Sheffield High school’s assistant principal. She has also been a part of the community for a long time, as the parent of children who attend Eisenhower.
After months of petitioning from community members and local officials, the Warren County School District Board of Directors voted in favor of the closure of Youngsville Middle High School on January 13, in a 5-4 vote. The emotional and controversial vote was followed by months of student-led meetings to ease the merger of Youngsville High School students into Eisenhower Middle High School. During that period, there were also open house events to allow the Youngsville students to become acquainted with their new school. Youngsville and Eisenhower students, faculty, and staff used these opportunities to meet and build rapport with each other. Recently, TheSquire interviewed students to see how the students think the transition is going and how it has affected them.
