Substance abuse assessments are a requirement at Henderson Bay High School. Assessments can be arranged through our Counseling office at no charge prior to enrollment. If recommendations are made by the Substance Abuse Counselor for group support, students must attend the required groups. If no recommendations are made, students are still required to do random urinalyses throughout the school year. Students sign a Health Care Contract upon entrance to Henderson Bay High School.

Financial Aid

Hello senior parents. If your son or daughter is applying to any type of college, school or program beyond high school that charges money for tuition, room and board, books, etc. it is important that you fill out and submit a FAFSA Form on-line, preferably by mid February. If you have any questions regarding financial aid and how it works or how to fill out the FAFSA form, watch the video "7 Easy Steps to the FAFSA: Student's Guide to the Free Application for Federal Student Aid".

FAFSA on the Web is the official site of the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA®).

Work Site Learning

Work Site Learning (WSL) is a wonderful learning experience for juniors and seniors that connects knowledge and skills obtained in the classroom to those needed in the work environment. If you have a job and meet the requirements of the Worksite Learning program, you can receive one-half credit for every 180 hours you work. In order to enroll in the program, you, your parent and your employer will need to complete the required forms. Students may pick up packets from your high school career center or print them from this website. Once the packet is completed and returned, the student will check-in weekly with Mr. Selfors to document his/her work hours. It is important that students remain current in updating their hours in order to receive the maximum amount of credit. Student performance will be evaluated every 180 hours.
