A message from Sonja.....

Hello everyone,

Here is my draft of a scholarship application....starting without a standard or common WHS Scholarship Application, I merged my ideas, e-mails, conversations & the applications used by Ukiah High School & the Community Foundation of Mendocino County. Today, I returned to the WHS Home Page to see if I could learn the definitive description for Bob Colvig - was it Counselor or Counseling or Guidance Counselor? It is Counseling Department. There are many updates & additions to the site. Found the "Common Scholarship Application for Willits Business & Service Clubs". Please look at the "Willits High School Home Page".

then select Counseling
then select Scholarships
then select Local Scholarship Application .... also new info if one
then selects Local Scholarships 2009

The "Common Scholarship Application for Willits Business and Service Clubs" is a different approach from my draft.................................s
