September 24th we will be giving the ASVAB Test. Parents, encourage your student to consider taking the ASVAB! The ASVAB is a valuable career exploration tool that can help students identify their strengths and discover potential career paths. While the test is often associated with the military, students are not required to join the military to take it. It can provide helpful insight as students begin planning for their future after high school. This is a great way for students to earn CCR!

Students interested in taking the ASVAB should sign up using the QR Code in the photo. This test is for 10-12 Graders, and spots are limited, please sign up as soon as possible.
