Welcome Seniors!

Welcome Class of 2019

Guidance is here to ensure that you have a smooth and stress-free senior year. Have you taken or signed up to take a college entrance test? Check out the links below to help you sign up for the SAT or ACT, which is required by all 4 year colleges and universities.  When you register for the ACT or SAT, include the NAIA Eligibility Center (9876) on the list of places test scores should be sent.   If you are planning to attend a community college in Florida, you can take the SAT or ACT but a third alternative test is also available-the PERT. The PERT is a computer generated test and can be taken at the community college. Contact the College of Central Florida at 854-2322 to set up a time to take the PERT. You can also sign up to take the PERT with Ms. Thrower in the College and Career Lab (03-109) during the school day.

~ Email your counselor, Karen Brazell-Smith, if you have a question!

~ Email, Ms. Martinez, if you need to have your transcript sent to a college.
