Juniors:
Students planning to attend a 4-year college or university should plan to take either the SAT or ACT their junior year.  Students can register online for the SAT at www.collegeboard.org or the ACT at actstudent.org.  Study guides are available in the Guidance Office.
  • New SAT and ACT Registration Policy: Due to new security enhancements, students are now required to upload a digital photo when registering for the SAT and ACT.  Plan ahead to make sure you have an acceptable photo before the registration deadline.
  • Choosing the right college can be a time-consuming process.  Visiting the campus is an essential part of making sure you make the right choice.  We encourage students to take college visits during their junior year.  Permission forms can be obtained from Mrs. Gooding in the front office.
