On Tuesday, March 4, 2025, Homestead High School will administer the SAT in person to our grade 11 students. Because the SAT has replaced the ISTEP+ as a graduation qualifying exam, it will be given at no cost to students. The state of Indiana requires all students in the Class of 2026 to test in person on Tuesday, March 4th. It is important to note that students CANNOT use an SAT exam score that they have taken in the past or will take in the future in place of the March 4th administration. The school test, unlike the Saturday exams, is a digital exam that has been specifically designed for the Indiana graduation requirement. This is why ALL Juniors must be present for this exam.
