Students can take the ASVAB on Tuesday, February 17 at Alvirne High School. Interested students must sign up in the Counseling Office this week.

The Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB) is a free, nationally recognized assessment that measures skills in math, science, reading, and technical areas. It is part of the ASVAB Career Exploration Program, which helps students identify their strengths and explore both civilian and military career pathways. Taking the ASVAB does not obligate you to join the military.

There is no fee for the exam. Testing will begin at 7:30 AM in the JROTC classroom (WP102).
