Raise the Flag Raise the Flag! Raise the Flag is back for this year's auction, but this year you participate by “voting” for your favorite school via an online donation (of any size, big or small) on our auction platform. Each $1 donation = one vote. All votes for all schools will be donations to the PTO, and the school with the highest vote will fly their flag over Heights HS for the next year! Currently UH, UT, A&M, LSU, and Baylor are set up to receive votes. Don't see your favorite school? Email auction@heightspto.org and we'll add it! |

FACEBOOK GROUP: @heights2024 Did you miss the senior parents social at Crust? Here’s all the FAQs you need to know! Class of 2024 graduation will be Sunday, June 9, 2024 at 12pm (barring any changes from the district!). Mr. Montanez will share more details as they are received. Cap and Gown pickup will be Tuesday April 16th at school. IMPORTANT! If you have not ordered your senior’s cap and gown, do not order it online. Bring money to school on April 23 to purchase one on campus. All forms of payment accepted. Remember, seniors cannot participate in graduation without this cap and gown! NEW DATE for Panoramic Picture is April 29 Prom will be Saturday April 27th at the JW Marriott near the Galleria. Ticket pickup information will be coming soon. The Annual Awards ceremony will be Tuesday, May 21st in the school auditorium. The annual Powder Puff football game will be after school on Friday, May 24th on the school fields. **More senior dates will be put in the newsletter and in the Class of 24 facebook group when we get them! From the College Center: FAFSA INFORMATION!! Do not submit a paper FAFSA form. Submitting a paper form is not recommended by colleges. It will make the process even more difficult. We receive updates from colleges daily that ask us to make sure students are only submitting online. I know there is so much information going around, so it’s confusing. This FAFSA issue has been the biggest headache. But we are not giving up and guarantee that ALL students eligible for the FAFSA will get it submitted. Also, the Texas priority deadline was moved to April 15th. We have ways to help students that have glitch issues. Since spring break, there have been many updates to all the problems. Please remind the students and parents to check with the College Center if they need help. Heights is planning one more evening workshop before 4/15. Check out the Scholarship Opportunities 23-24

The College Center wall is open! Tell your senior to swing by the College Center and sign it when they know their plans for next year–college, military, or career plans! |
