Sign Up for the ASVAB
The Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB) assessment will be offered here at RPHS on Tuesday, November 17, 2026 at 7:30 a.m. in room L241. The ASVAB is given to 10th, 11th and 12th grade students to measure their developed abilities and predict future academic and occupational success both in and out of the military.
Students who score at least a 31 and who take JROTC I-IV can earn their CCMR point as well.
The test is free of charge and registration is open until Friday, November 13 at 3:00 p.m. Please click here to register. This is an excused absence and the test will take about 2.5 hours. Students will take the test on their FBISD laptops.
AP Exam Decision and Payment Deadline TODAY
Today is the deadline to register and pay for students taking AP exams. Please make sure you have:

College Board adds a $40 late fee per exam after our deadline and we will not take any late registrations until January. You can check your Revtrak order history if you need to verify your payment. Please see the AP Information page for links.
Email AP Coordinator Amy Amadi for specific questions.
Attending a Texas public school or want an off period?
All students attending a Texas public school need to demonstrate college readiness before they will be allowed to enroll and select their college classes (which is different than applying or getting admitted). Colleges determine this via the following test scores:
SAT: 530+ on Math, 480+ on English
ACT: 22+ on Math, 40+ on Reading and Writing
TSI: 950+ on Math, 945+ on Reading, 5+ on Essay
Students can use a combination of these to demonstrate readiness (i.e., their SAT Math score+ their TSI English/essay score). In addition, students who meet these benchmarks also earn their CCMR point, which benefits them with an honor cord to wear at graduation plus the ability to earn an off campus or office aide period their senior year.
Current seniors who do not have their CCMR point but earn it before December 18 can have a schedule change for the spring semester to include an off period, provided it works with their schedule and graduation requirements.
RPHS will be offering the TSI free of charge to any junior or senior on November 19, 2026 at 7:30 a.m. Students can register here as long as there is space and can use these various options for test prep.
