Mr. E. Lee's Homeroom-c/o 2025

The goal of this assignment is to support you in BHS forms you will need to Transition from high school to college or trade schools.  You would submit it to the registrar if you would like to have an actual transcript.  

INSTRUCTIONS:  Make a copy of the document.  To complete this assignment, fill out the attached transcript request form as best you can.  This is a practice sheet.  We want you to know what the form looks like should you need to fill it out in the future.

Complete the attached FAFSA worksheet using a search engine such as Google.  YOU DO NOT HAVE TO COMPLETE THE FAFSA.    The goal of this assignment is to familiarize the process for future use your senior year.  Our counseling office has FAFSA workshops during the school year to support you and your family to fill out this government form.  Check out the BHS website (Counseling Tab) to find out when these are happening at BHS.

The purpose of this assignment is to have experience with these types of forms. When you are ready to apply for colleges or trade schools. the following sample college application can support you in filling out similar documents they want you to provide. Please DO NOT put any social security numbers on this form.  It is for your information purpose only.


SUPPORT NOTES FROM PAST YEARS STUDENTS:  When you get to the "Coursework" section of the form and it asks for a grade. Please put the actual grade you earned in the course, not the year you took it.  The form asks for the year in the column next to the grade.  Confusing, I know, but it's best to make the mistakes here than on an actual college application. Thank you!
