Grand Island Senior High (GISH) has developed a new Senior Launch Program to help support all graduating Seniors be more confident in venturing to their next chapters after high school.
Specifically, how our dedicated staff at GISH and GearUp help Seniors and their families for complete the FAFSA form.
Starting this school year, the state of Nebraska has a new graduation requirement for all public school districts: Every graduating Senior must complete the FAFSA form in order to graduate.
As you’ll hear in the following discussion, the FAFSA form isn’t new. But having it as a graduation requirement is. So, as forward-thinking educators, our team at GISH & GearUp wanted to take a proactive approach to helping Seniors and their Families navigate this requirement — by helping all graduates better understand the exciting opportunities and choices they have in front of them. And yes, the FAFSA form helps in that regard quite a bit – especially when considering college opportunities.
With this information being so important, we wanted to provide these conversations in both English and Spanish so we may reach as many families as we can in a helpful way.
This episode will be in English. We’ve added a second episode to our feed covering the same conversation completely in Spanish as well.
Because it's all about empowering students to be College, Career, & Community Ready.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
