As Louisiana’s high school seniors prepare for graduation and college, affording college may be a unique challenge, due to job loss within families as a result of the coronavirus pandemic. The Louisiana Office of Student Financial Assistance has long advocated for students to focus on finding opportunities for financial assistance, things like grants and scholarships, to help pay for college. One thing each student can control, especially during times of uncertainty, is completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), to maximize the amount of gift aid (free money).

On Monday, April 12th, the Joaquin High School Tennis team competed in the District Tennis Tournament.

The players qualifying for regionals are Timothy Mason- 1st Place in Boy’s Singles.

Juan Gomez and Angel Gonzalez- 1st Place in Boy’s Doubles, Marshall Fry and Stormy Runnels- 2nd Place in Mixed Doubles, and Whitney Garrett and Mariel Luna- 2nd Place in Girl’s Doubles.
