It’s no secret. College is expensive, and it makes sense to know all the resources available to you to cut the cost. That’s why the Counseling Department is teaming up with Steve Do from Michigan Student Aid for “How to Pay for College,” an event for all students and family members Tuesday, Dec. 2 at 5:30 in the HPAC.

🌽💙 Hastings FFA at the 98th National FFA Convention! 💙🌽

Hastings High School FFA had an incredible time in Indianapolis for the 98th National FFA Convention! Their trip kicked off with stops at the zoo, UNOH, and the Conservatory before heading to Lucas Oil Stadium and the Expo Center for inspiring sessions and an awesome career and collegiate experience.

Our members had a blast meeting students and leaders from across the nation and even caught up with former FFA officer and proud Hastings alumnus Brayden Bies!

A huge thank you to the Hastings FFA Alumni for making this great experience possible!

Last Friday, our seniors wrapped up College Month with a celebration recognizing all their hard work toward their post-secondary goals! From college visits and application submissions to completing the FAFSA paperwork, our students are making big moves toward their futures.
Six lucky seniors even scored a $50 Visa gift card in our raffle and everyone enjoyed some donuts, cider and fun senior gifts (sunglasses, mints and tactile strips). We’re proud of our Class of 2026! Keep chasing those college dreams!

Our High School Trades Block class is busy with some awesome projects this year! 👷‍♂️

One group is building a garage (pictured), while another is tackling a pole barn at a different location. These students are getting hands-on experience with every step of the construction process — and learning what it’s really like to work on a job site. We can’t wait to see how these builds turn out! 🔨🏗️
