The ASVAB isn't just for students considering the military. It is also a great career exploration tool that can help you identify your strengths and connect them to possible career paths.

⚠️ IMPORTANT CHANGE THIS YEAR:
CCHS will only offer the ASVAB TWO times this school year due to changes involving retesting and score validity. Taking the ASVAB more than once within a six-month period may result in scores being invalidated, so students should plan their testing dates carefully.

Space is limited, so don't wait to reserve your spot!
