PSAT Testing Information

During the fall (October) all 10th graders have the opportunity to participate in the PSAT/NMSQT. 9th graders interested in participating can take the test by paying the related test fee ($18). 11th graders interested in taking the test for meeting the graduation assessment requirement and/or for earning the National Merit Scholarship, please sign up in your student services office.
