Junior year is an excellent time to begin thinking about your post-secondary plan. You may find it helpful to begin to schedule college, or trade school visits. You may also begin to search for ways to pay for your education. Visit CCGI to begin the college searching process. Mrs. Vas Dinis will be visiting your classrooms to provide information to help you navigate this process!
As of now, local SAT and ACT tests have been cancelled. Test offerings for the class of 2022 will be dependent upon schools re-opening.
CSUs, Ucs, and NCAA have all made public statements waiving the testing requirements for the 2020-2021 school year. No public statements have been made at this time regarding testing for future classes.
Attention juniors! The ASVAB (Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery) will be given on December 5th. This free interest inventory is a great way to learn about careers, as well as your abilities and interests for all jobs. While offered by the Armed Services, there is no military obligation. It is open to juniors but spots are limited! Please sign up in google classroom later this month.
