ACT and Aspire Testing

Each spring, Freshmen and Sophomore students will be required to take the Aspire test. Juniors will be required to take the ACT assessment. These assessments are a measure of your academic performance to date and a predictor of how you will achieve in college. To learn more about these assessments, visit http://www.act.org/.

Your high school counselor can help you to understand the results of your testing.

In order to help prepare you for the ACT, here are some web resources you can check out.

ASVAB Testing

Maybe you are interested in joining the military and becoming part of something bigger than yourself? One way to learn more about your aptitudes and interests is to take the ASVAB test when it is offered at school. You will receive great information back about yourself that may help you plan for the future. Taking the ASVAB doesn't mean you are automatically going to join the service, it is just one more tool to help you make some big decisions.
