On Thursday, Sept. 10, Freshman will have a meeting during homeroom in the gym and learn about the Upward Bound Programs through MSSU and Crowder, and have the opportunity to take an application. Upward Bound programs are programs designed to provide educational access and assistance to income-eligible, first-generation, and/or disabled students. Upward Bound's goal is to help students be ready for success in post-secondary education.
All juniors will take the ASVAB on Tuesday, September 22. There will be a morning session and an afternoon session. While the ASVAB is a military test, you are NOT taking it as part of military entrance. We utilize the ASVAB Career Exploration Program, which uses the ASVAB test to give you valuable information about your strengths and how they might fit into deciding your career path. We see it as a tool to help you along your way.
The PSAT will be offered at CJHS on October 21 to interested sophomores and juniors. This exam is optional, and juniors who take the test may be eligible for the National Merit Scholarship Competition. Sophomores who wish to be considered for the Missouri Scholars Academy should take this test. The test fee is $18, payable by cash or check at the time you sign up. Register the counseling office by Sept 30.
