Mega Test Day is Coming!
Mark your calendars for April 7th—it’s Mega Test Day, and every student has an important job!

Seniors will be taking the ACT or Accuplacer, sophomores will be completing the ASVAB, and freshmen will be focused on test prep to build their skills.

And here’s the exciting part…
Students who have already achieved the required scores will get to celebrate their hard work with a trip to go bowling!

We’re proud of the effort our students continue to put into their futures. Let’s make it a great day of focus, achievement, and celebration!

To help support all of our hard-working brains, we’d love to provide snacks and drinks throughout the day. If you or your business would like to donate items or contribute funds to help us purchase refreshments, please call or email the school. We would love to partner with you in investing in our students’ future!
