Today members of the Watertown American Legion came over to present a new flag donated to the school by the Johnson Family. They were former graduates of Henry High School. The elementary students assisted in raising the flag, and joined in reciting the pledge of allegiance. The school appreciates the generosity of the family, and looks forward to having a new flag to display outside the school!
FAFSA is now open for the 26-27 school year for current seniors.
What is the FAFSA? FAFSA stands for the “Free Application for Federal Student Aid.” It is a form provided by the U.S. Department of Education to determine your eligibility for federal financial aid, such as grants, loans, and work-study funds, to help pay for college or career school. It is free to apply.
STEP 1: Prepare to complete the FAFSA by establishing your FSA ID. The FSA ID is a username and password for your account at StudentAid.gov. If you have any questions or need help completing the FAFSA or obtaining your FSA ID, contact Mapping Your Future at feedback@mappingyourfuture.org or 1-800-374-4072.
Create your FSA ID https://studentaid.gov/h/apply-for-aid/fafsa Click create account
STEP 2: -You will put your parents email address in when applying. That will send your parents a link. Then your parents will need to create an FSA ID. If your parents are married and file jointly then only one parent needs to have a FSA ID. Possibly both parents might need to depending on the situation.
STEP 3: Gathering Needed Documents to fill out FAFSA
You might need the following information or documents as you fill out the FAFSA form:
Tax returns
Records of child support received
Current balances of cash, savings, and checking accounts
Net worth of investments, businesses, and farms
Your parent’s SSN if they have an SSN and you’re a dependent student (for the 2025–26 FAFSA form only)
Keep these records! You may need them again. Do not mail these supporting records to us unless otherwise instructed to do so.
Step 4: Once you both have a FSA ID, then you can apply for the FASFA. Make sure you have all documents needed before applying.
