Meredith College
Meredith College has been educating strong, confident women for more than a century. Chartered in 1891, the College opened with 200 students and a mission to provide a first-rate course of female education. Today Meredith is one of the largest independent women’s colleges in the U.S., graduating nearly 500 students each year who come from across the country and around the world.
Mount Holyoke College
Chemist and educator Mary Lyon founded Mount Holyoke College (then called Mount Holyoke Female Seminary) in 1837, nearly a century before women gained the right to vote. As the first of the Seven Sisters—the female equivalent of the once predominantly male Ivy League—Mount Holyoke has led the way in women's education.
Bryn Mawr College
When Bryn Mawr College opened its doors in 1885, it offered women a more ambitious academic program than any previously available to them in the United States. Other women's colleges existed, but Bryn Mawr was the first to offer graduate education through the Ph.D.—a signal of its founders' refusal to accept the limitations imposed on women's intellectual achievement at other institutions.

School Day Digital SAT exam on March 4th
State Testing begins on April 9th
Students will return to school after Spring break and will begin Ohio State Testing, taking the End of Course exams in the subjects listed below. All testing will begin at 8:00am and will end at 10:00am. To ensure we create the most secure and efficient testing environment, days that are highlighted above will be ‘late start’ schedules for students who are not testing during the morning hours. For example, if a student is not taking the ELA II exam (which is primarily a sophomore exam, but if you are unsure whether or not you should be taking an exam, please contact your counselor) that student does not need to report between the hours of 8:00am - 10:00am.
Additionally, students who are not taking a particular test can still report to school at the regular time (8:00am) as school transportation will still be running a normal schedule. If you arrive at 8:00am and are not taking the respective exam you will go to the cafeteria utilizing that time for further study, catch-up on work and for any additional academic purposes. If your student has the ability to arrive late (whether they have their own transportation or can get a ride), all students are expected to be back in the building by 9:55am. This is the same for all ‘late start’ testing days.
