PSAT Day- Wednesday, October 11

Speech and debate teams 2026

Alert MessageAll 9, 10, and 11 graders will take the PSAT in the morning while 12th graders will be participating in college and transition-related activities in the auditorium.

 
The PSAT is a great practice opportunity for the SAT.  For 11th graders, the PSAT results are used for qualification purposes for National Merit Scholarship Programs. 
 
The counseling department distributed PSAT Student Guides to all test-takers during lunchtime assemblies during the week of Monday, September 25.   The guides contain information about the tests as well as a full-length practice test.  Students are encouraged to take the practice test before testing day.  More information about the PSAT can be found at www.collegeboard.org/psat.
 
Students are reminded to bring #2 pencils and calculators for testing.  The College Board does not allow makeup testing for the PSAT so it is important that students arrive at school on time. 
 
Score reports will be available online in mid-December and paper copies will be available and distributed in January during lunch-time grade-level assemblies.  Juniors will be encouraged to register for a SAT or ACT date in the spring by visiting the testing agency websites.  Sophomores and Juniors in AP classes will be reminded to register for SAT Subject tests as appropriate.
