A representative from a variety of military branches visit BHS and set up a booth in the cafeteria during the lunches for interested students to ask questions, if they choose.
If you are considering entering the military, you should take the ASVAB (Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery) test.
There are two versions of the ASVAB test:
The enlistment version of the ASVAB is given at a Military Entrance Processing Station (MEPS) and is used for recruiting purposes only. Your scores will qualify you for specific jobs within the military. Recruits may not always be assigned their first choice for a career. Each Service branch places recruits based on a combination of need and the individual’s knowledge and area of strength. You may take the ASVAB more than once to improve your score, however, there is a one-month waiting period between test sessions.
The student testing program, also known as the ASVAB Career Exploration Program (CEP), is used for career exploration and can be given in high schools. This is the version we offer students in grades 10-12 at BHS for the main purpose of career exploration. This assessment will match the student's strengths and interests with career pathways that would be a good fit. This can be very helpful to students who are undecided about their future career and would benefit from researching a variety of career pathways suited to their strengths and interests.
