    The PSAT will be given to 9th, 10th and 11th graders on October 13th, 2021. Seniors who previously signed up will have the opportunity to take the SAT (without writing on this day).

    SENIOR SAT

    Two different learning experiences will take place on Oct. 13th for Seniors.

    1. Seniors who already signed up for the SAT will report to NHS by 8:50am to take the SAT test. If students did not sign up, they will not be able to take the SAT because no more tests can be ordered at the time. Seniors who are registered have received an email with their testing location.

    2. Seniors who did not sign up for the SAT will have an extended learning day. These seniors are encouraged to use this instructional day for learning about either colleges or careers. *Students may do this type of learning electronically or in person by visiting a college campus OR by job shadowing at a business. Parents will need to call their child's attendance office to report the absence on 10/13. Then seniors must submit some proof of this work to their attendance secretary for this to count as an instructional day. Proof of work can include but is not limited to: report from online work, documentation of college visit, short description of job shadowing experience with signature of business employee who was shadowed. Seniors have until Friday, Oct. 22, 2021 to submit this documentation.

    *Students who choose to attend campus will be given the opportunity to work with NHS teachers on FAFSA, SAT/ACT prep, work on college applications, resumes and learn more about post-secondary options. These sessions will be held in the Science Building on testing day.
