Graduating Hazel Park Seniors: Make sure to complete your promise zone scholarship applications as soon as possible!

Graduating seniors planning to utilize the Hazel Park Promise Zone scholarship program during the 2018-19 school year should submit their applications as soon as possible. The application has two parts:

Part One is an electronic form, which was sent to all seniors in the fall via school district email. That form can be accessed here.

Part Two is a student release waiver, which, when signed by a student, allows that student's college to provide us with billing and academic information. That form has been emailed to students, and hard copies can be found in the Promise Zone and College Advising offices at Hazel Park High School. It can also be accessed here. The form should be printed, signed, and either turned in to the College Advising office or scanned/emailed to kayla.roney@hazelparkschools.org.

Additional details about our scholarship program can be found on the "Scholarship Program" section of this website.

We are ecstatic to congratulate our own college adviser, Moussa Traore, for being honored as one of three Ombudsman Award winners at this years Statewide College Access Impact Awards dinner by the Michigan College Access Network! This award recognizes individuals whose passion for college access helped them persevere over challenges to make significant contributions to their communities while engaged as college advisers. Throughout his time at HPHS, "Mr. T" has maintained a tireless dedication to each and every student. He has engaged in the community in a variety of ways, including coaching soccer, and he assisted the class of 2017 in setting a new record for scholarship offers made to a graduating HPHS class. CONGRATULATIONS, MOUSSA!

THANK YOU TO ALL WHO SUPPORTED OUR 5TH ANNUAL RACE TO COLLEGE FUNDRAISING DINNER!

Through the generous support of Hazel Parkers and others from surrounding communities, this year's Race to College fundraising dinner was the most successful yet. Attendees enjoyed a delicious meal from award-winning chef, James Rigato of Hazel Park's own Mabel Gray Kitchen, and entertainment from Hazel Park High School's talented band, choir, and theater students.

As always, a highlight of the evening was the testimonial panel of Hazel Park students and alumni. Thank you to Imani Daniels (HPHS '13 and Central Michigan University '17) and Andrew McClellan (HPHS '13 and Michigan State University '17) for sharing their experiences with the Promise Zone's college advising and scholarship programs. Thank you also to Dhalia Blackwell, Brooke Cox, and Thomas Emmons, for sharing their experiences with our School-to-Work Program with UAW Chrysler!

Thank you again to all who attended or showed support in other ways. We look forward to seeing you at next year's event!
