SENIORS

Seniors are responsible for coordinating their own experience. Suggestions include a career shadowing experience, a college visit, or participation in a community service opportunity of their choosing. 

Juniors and Sophomores

Our Juniors and Sophomores are given the opportunity to choose from the following College and Career Readiness assessments administered at Loveland High School.  Students will complete a survey in the months prior to the testing date to indicate their preference.

• ASVAB Career Exploration Program

  • • Not just for those who are planning on serving our nation in the military, the ASVAB is a valuable career assessment that can help students to compare their results with the career research that is done in Naviance.  While there is no obligation to pursue military service for any student who opts to take the ASVAB, this assessment can help those who are considering enlisting to make plans for specific jobs in the service.  Please see this link for more information.

• Practice ACT

  • • Taking a practice ACT can help those students who are interested in experiencing a college readiness assessment that will lead to suggestions for future improvement.  The practice tests are scored with detailed answer explanations given. 

• PSAT

  • • The PSAT serves as the preliminary SAT and also serves as the National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (when taken in 11th grade).  Students who choose this option will have access to free, personalized online prep tools for the SAT by linking their College Board accounts with Khan Academy.  Taking this assessment in both grades 10 and 11 will allow for a measurement of college readiness growth.   Please see this link for more information.

• WorkKeys

  • • WorkKeys is an assessment for students who are considering earning an industry-recognized credential while in high school.  Students who choose this option will be assessed in Applied Math, Graphic Literacy and Workplace Documents.  Any student who is giving consideration to attending Great Oaks is encouraged to choose this option.  Please see this link for more information.

Freshmen

Our Freshman will be given the opportunity to experience a job shadow with a family member or friend that day.
