  • High school seniors should begin filling out FAFSA

    High school seniors planning to attend college or technical school this fall should fill out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid, also called the FAFSA, as soon as possible, according to the Kentucky Higher Education Assistance Authority (KHEAA).
    The information on the FAFSA determines if students qualify for federal and state grants and for federal student loans. Also, many colleges use the information to award grants and scholarships administered by the school. Therefore, students should submit the FAFSA even if they feel it is unlikely they will qualify for aid.

  • High school students get a lesson in leadership

    A good leader follows the Golden Rule in that he is more interested in others than in himself.
    That was the tenet Mark Needham, special assistant to Kentucky Gov. Steve Beshear, shared with Teens Leading Kids at LaRue County High School Jan. 19.
    Needham, executive director and chairman of the Kentucky Commission on Military Affairs, should know leadership. He graduated from the United States Military Academy at West Point in 1982 earning a bachelor of science degree in engineering and a commission as an armor officer.
