Eagle Family,
We are excited to kick off RISE Week — Ready. Inspired. Successful. Empowered. tomorrow! This week is all about helping our seniors think beyond high school and take meaningful steps toward what comes next.
In conjunction with Free College Application Week, our students will have opportunities throughout the week to explore college and career pathways, learn about financial aid, register to vote, and prepare for their future.
Each day has a special focus:
🎓 Monday — Rep Your Next Step: Wear college, university, military, career-program, or future-pathway gear. Faculty and staff, represent your alma mater!
💰 Tuesday — Dollars & Degrees: Students will learn about the FAFSA, FSA IDs, and making informed financial decisions. Family FAFSA Night begins at 6:00 PM.
🇺🇸 Wednesday — Your Voice, Your Vote: Voter Registration Drive + wear your most patriotic attire!
📸 Thursday — “Wear” Will You Go?: Dress like the professional you plan to become! Seniors can also sign up for a professional headshot.
We encourage you to take advantage of Free College Application Week and complete applications to schools you are considering. Even if you are still deciding what comes next, this is a great opportunity to explore your options and prepare.
We can't wait to see our Eagles participate and RISE as they prepare for life beyond Calera High School!
Junior Parents,
Thank you so much to everyone who attended our Junior Parent Meeting last night! We are excited about our junior class and all that lies ahead for them as they continue through high school and begin preparing for life after graduation.
Whether their next step is entering the workforce, joining the armed forces, attending a two-year college, or pursuing a four-year degree, our goal is to make sure every student feels prepared, supported, and confident about what comes next.
I am attaching the presentation from last night’s meeting so that you can review the information we shared. We hope it will be a helpful resource as you and your student begin making plans for senior year and beyond.
Thank you for partnering with us as we support the Class of 2028!
Together we will prepare every Eagle to confidently take their next step.
Go Eagles! 🦅
