Testing is right around the corner! This year, students will take a practice test on October 8th. Students will prepare their iPads for the pSAT and then complete a lesson on media balance and well being.

Students will learn about the National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (NMSQT) and prepare their devices for testing. This will be an opportunity to practice sample questions.

Students will begin work on the Colorado College Free Application (Located in Common App) and learn about workforce readiness. In future advisories, students will have more time to work with counselors to complete their college applications.

Student Fees are now in your student's infinite campus account. You can pay the fees online through the infinite campus portal or in the main office with exact cash or check payable to Longmont High.

Longmont High School believes that good attendance is critical to academic success and to a successful high school experience. When a student misses a class, they miss a learning opportunity, which cannot be recaptured. Educational research indicates that a significant part of the student's experience is derived from classroom relationships, activities, discussions, and participation. Regular attendance is of utmost importance for school interest, social adjustment and academic achievement, particularly for closing the achievement gap.
