On September 24th, students enrolled in Preparing for College and Careers this semester will be taking the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery. The ASVAB is a well-researched aptitude test that measures developed abilities and helps predict future academic and occupational success. ASVAB Career Exploration Program is designed to help young people explore their options and make a plan.

ASVAB results are reported to students and counselors on the ASVAB Summary Results sheet. Scores are released to military recruiters 7 calendar days after results are mailed to the school, without phone numbers. To request that your student's scores not be provided to military recruiters, please complete this form. 

Students who do not pass either the Math 10 or English portion of the ISTEP+ exam may be eligible to use their ASVAB score to graduate without using the waiver process. Therefore it is vital that students put forth their best effort during the ASVAB administration.

Distance Learning Students

Students who are currently participating in distance learning are encouraged to come to the building to participate in the testing administration. Any students taking the ASVAB should report to the cafeteria by 7:25 am. If your student is a distance learner and is planning on coming to school to participate in the ASVAB administration, please complete this form.   Continue reading
