Senior Year Expenses 2024 – 2025

 After 12 years of education, you and your child have made it: the last year of high school! With just a few months left, there’s excitement and a bit of sadness as you look forward to the firsts and lasts. It’s a time to celebrate and cherish these moments.  You don’t want the expenses that come with senior year getting in the way of enjoying this special year.  By preparing ahead of time, saving and budgeting, you can make it a memorable experience.  Here’s what to expect when it comes to your child’s high school senior year expenses.  All payments must be made by cash, or a money order made out to the High School for Arts and Business and are nonrefundable. Permission slips signed by parents or guardians are needed for seniors to participate in all events. Participation in these events may be determined by attendance, dean’s record, and grades. Please review the senior contract signed by students and parents in the beginning of the school year. Please remember that all dates and pricing are subject to change. See Ms. Cavaliere for all payments and any questions in the cafeteria office periods 1, 4, 5 and 6.
