Ash Grove High School

"Our students are our legacy, their future is our focus."

New!!! ICAP Night March 16 from 6-7:30pm
in the High School Cafeteria
for 8th and 9th Grade Students and Their Parents/Guardians

Beginning this year, Ash Grove High School will have an ICAP Night to help students build their yearly course schedules. The ICAP (Individual Career and Academic Plan) was created by DESE to ensure students are prepared to enter college or the workforce successfully after high school. Every student in Ash Grove High School will recognize a career field they have interest in pursuing, and then build a plan of study that will help prepare them to enter that field. During the ICAP Night, the school counselor and several teachers will help students build a tentative schedule for each year they have remaining in high school.

We are encouraging parents/guardians to come to this event as well! We want you to be a part of the process of helping your student create the schedule that will best prepare them for life after high school.

If you have any questions, you may contact the Counseling Office at 417-751-2330.

Parent and Student Portal

Grades, schedules, and attendance information are available on the student information system (SIS). Parents and students may log into the SIS portal throughout the year to view those. If you would like a paper copy of quarter or semester grades, you may contact the high school office to get one printed. If you are new to the district and need to set up the inital login for the parent portal, contact the high school office at 417-751-2330.

Seniors and Parents of Seniors: Now is the time to complete the FAFSA!

After October 1 each year, the FAFSA, the "Free Application for Federal Student Aid" opens for students to apply for federal student aid. Any graduating senior who is planning to attend college next year should complete the FAFSA as this is a major tool that colleges use to determine a student's financial need and eligibility for federal aid as well as certain financial need-based scholarships. This is not a loan - the grant money you receive from this does not have to be repaid, and it is free to apply. The sooner you fill this out the better. Why? Because if you fill it out sooner, you may be able to get more grants (money) that will help you pay for college. Even if there's the slightest chance you may go to college next year, you need to fill this out.

To fill out the FAFSA, here's what you will need to bring:

Your Social Security number (it’s important that you enter it correctly on the FAFSA form!)
Your parents’ Social Security numbers if you are a dependent student
Your driver’s license number if you have one
Your Alien Registration number if you are not a U.S. citizen
2021 Federal tax information, tax documents, or tax returns, including IRS W-2 information, for you (and your spouse, if you are married), and for your parents if you are a dependent student
Records of your untaxed income, such as child support received, interest income, and veterans noneducation benefits, for you, and for your parents if you are a dependent student
Information on cash; savings and checking account balances; investments, including stocks and bonds and real estate (but not including the home in which you live); and business and farm assets for you and for your parents if you are a dependent student

For more information or for help in completing the FAFSA, contact the Counseling Office at 417-751-9616 or 417-751-9605.
