SchooLinks & YouScience - Our goal for freshmen is to use this as a year of self-discovery. We have many tools available to help students do this.

• SchooLinks has a variety of self-discovery assessments (Instructions)

• YouScience will be given to all 9th graders and measures not only interest, but abilities and potential as well.

Students can start in SchooLinks any time. YouScience sessions will be scheduled throughout the year.
