Purchase Your Coach Dunn Tribute Shirt today because we are Never Dunn with Tiger Pride:
We are taking orders for these short sleeve grey t-shirts. Any size you want is $15. You do not
have to pay till they come in. All you need to do is reply with quantity and size. A portion of each
shirt sale goes to the Peg Dunn Scholarship. We will place the order and get them to you
soon. If you have out of town family and friends that want to support we can ship after payment

There is not a person in Macon who doesn’t admire this incredible man’s dedication to his
school, community, and country. We felt it important to recognize and pay tribute to Coach and
Peg. The shirts were designed by our very own Madison Basler. Please show your support. I am
so proud of all these students who when I stated I didn't think we had time basically told me
to make time and we'll help. They make me a better person just like Coach makes Macon a better
place to call home.

FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) is the form that you must fill out if you want any financial
aid for college. Seniors applying for financial aid for the 2018-19 school year, may start applying October 1,
2017, using their 2016 tax return information. Before you can access the application, you will need a FSA ID.
Please go to fafsa.ed.gov and click on “FSA ID” to get started. This is an ID and password that you will need to
remember as long as you are a college student, because you and your parents will have to fill out a FAFSA eve-
ry year. Therefore, put your ID/Password in a safe place - your tax packet is the perfect place! Once you have
your ID and password, you are able to get started filling out the FAFSA

sent. Once you receive your letter of acceptance, let us know and we will get your name on the senior board!
