PLAN Testing Tuesday

Sophomores will be taking the PLAN test on Tuesday, November 2, 2010. Testing begins at 8:00 am. The PLAN® program helps 10th graders build a solid foundation for future academic and career success and provides information needed to address schools' high-priority issues. It is a comprehensive guidance resource that helps students measure their current academic development, explore career/training options, and make plans for the remaining years of high school and post-graduation years. As a "pre-ACT" test, PLAN is a powerful predictor of success on the ACT; at the same time, PLAN can help students who are likely to enter the workforce directly after high school.See Mrs. Amy Glover for more information.
