The High School Guidance center's purpose is helping students with their academic achievement throughout the 4 year process. We strive to offer guidance programs for helping students plan and prepare for postsecondary schooling and helping students with personal growth and development, in addition to offering guidance programs for helping students plan and prepare for their work roles after high school.

COLLEGE READINESS

WHAT is college readiness?

            Being college ready means that you are not showing deficiencies in reading and math, and that you have a good probability of successfully completing college-level courses after high school graduation and will not need to take remedial courses.

WHEN do I show that I am college ready?

            During your 11th grade school year, you will be scheduled to take the PERT (Postsecondary Education Readiness Test) in April – May.  You do not have to sign up.  We select those students who need to take the PERT based on their ACT/SAT/FCAT scores.
