Applications are available via email or from the school’s counselor. An application form and an essay are required.

Meanwhile, it’s almost fish fry season again and the Crescent Springs-Villa Hills Fire Department will be back each Friday night with one of its own.Â
Â
The fry starts on Friday, March 3 from 4 to 8 p.m.
Â
The department will feature its beer-battered fish sandwich or dinner, a shrimp dinner, or chicken fingers, and side items like onion rings, french fries, cole slaw, chips, and mac and cheese. Beer and soft drinks are also available.
Â
This fish fry has run continuously since 1954 and proceeds benefit various charities supported by the volunteer firefighters organization.
