Students in grades 9-12 are provided the opportunity to test out of certain graduation requirements by earning a passing score on a comprehensive credit exam prior to enrolling in the class. Testing out is an opportunity for students to earn credits for material they may already have a strong foundation in, without having to take the actual course for a semester or school year. To understand more about the courses for this opportunity, the score required, and the testing dates, please go to this link: https://mhs.maryville-schools.org/academics/state-test-out. Registration to take test is Nov. 4 - 22. The first testing date for this school year will be Saturday, December 7th at Maryville High School. If you need more information, please email Mrs. Bishop.
