If your child is a junior or senior and has not taken the ACT or SAT, please be sure he/she signs up to do so. Information regarding test registration was given to each junior and senior. If you need additional registration information packets, please stop by the office.
Submit all accumulated community service hours to the school office on letterhead from the organization in which your child obtained the hours.
Letters went home in mid-October detailing each student's test scores and community service hours we have on record. If you misplaced your child's letter, please drop by the office for a new copy.
