Free Application For Federal Student Aid (FAFSA)
Every other year Community High School hosts a post-secondary planning seminar for upcoming junior and senior parents. The focus of this seminar is to discuss the exploration and application process for various post-secondary education placements. Most importantly, it is a night for our parents to connect names with faces of our CHS staff hosts, which include Toby Braunstein (Director of Education), Joy Bortnick (College Coordinator), Sara Shortway (Assistant Director/Testing Coordinator), and Jackie Murray (Transition Coordinator).
Parents have the opportunity to meet with the Community High School team-staff members and an informative panel of representatives from various colleges. Our past panels have included Adelphi University, Centenary College, Landmark College, Manhattanville College, Bergen Community College, Lincoln Technical Institute and the Bergen County NJ Division of Vocational Rehabilitation Services. We have an informative question-and-answer session at the end and we continue to field personal questions via phone and email. Community High School’s guidance staff, working along with active parent and student involvement, is crucial for our students’ future success.
