Hello Parents of Sophomores & Juniors - The PSAT will be offered this year on Wednesday, October 12, 2022. To sign your student up, please have them visit Mrs. Kubacki in the Student Services Office at the high school. The cost of the exam is $18. The deadline to sign up and make payment is Wednesday, September 14, 2022. If you have any questions, please contact your child's High School Counselor! The PSAT exam is a practice SAT exam. The SAT exam is a college entrance exam that some 4 year schools require for admission consideration. Please know that many colleges are 'test-optional,' so your child may end up not needing the SAT exam, however some of them may. If you are unsure whether or not you should take the PSAT exam, please contact your School Counselor.
