The Topper

The Topper is published 3 times each year and is primarily directed to our current or recent students.  Our first issue each year comes out in January or February and because of the timing often spotlights important about filing for financial aid.  Our May/June issue is a celebration of our students' success, and spotlights our end of year Awards Banquet, while our September/October issue is designed to be a back-to-school issue.
