SAMPLE TESTING SCHEDULE AFTER THE PSAT (direct to 4-year college path) 11th Grade (SPRING) Take both the ACT test and newly redesigned SAT test (free-reduced lunch students request fee waivers through Mr. Kerwien) If you are interested in highly selective colleges consider taking an SAT Subject Test 12th Grade (FALL) Re-take either the ACT or SAT (whichever one you scored higher on) for a final score to report on 4-year college applications
Any student interested in attending SCC or SFCC can apply to the CCS Foundation Scholarship. This is a great opportunity to fill out one scholarship application for multiple scholarships.

For those of you looking for something a little extra in terms of pushing yourself academically you may consider what is called Summer Enrichment. Seeking out programs and classes that add to your knowledge of yourself and what you want to pursue as a future career. Consider the following websites for free online classes - some with the option of earning college credit (if you pass a test you have to pay for at the end). But wait you say, "You just claimed they were free." Indeed they are if you don't want college credit when offered, but consider getting a early look at what it means to be a counselor for instance by taking Psychology 100 - Intro to Psychology. Enrichment means seeking out knowledge sometimes without external reward. Seek out opportunities to get ahead of better prepare yourself for the future with the following websites.
