Commodore Construction is hard at work on the latest Habitat for Humanity home. This marks their 3rd home build with us, and we couldn’t be more grateful for their continued partnership.

Preparing for college isn’t just for seniors. All high school students should focus on doing well in school - a cumulative GPA (from grades 9 - 12) is used on college applications and scholarships, build good habits to stay on track academically, get involved in extracurricular or community activities, and find a supportive system of people that want you to succeed. Explore career options and what it costs to get there (https://collegecost.ed.gov/net-price). Start saving for college (https://www.collegechoicedirect.com/), and be on the lookout for financial aid opportunities - FAFSA opens October 1st! #whyapply #CollegeGo #FAFSA
