We kicked off Monday by recognizing more seniors who are College/Career Ready! Students earn this recognition in several ways. To be College/Career Ready, students must have met an ACT or SAT benchmark in English, Reading, or Math; earned a 3 or higher on an AP exam; passed a CTE End-of-Program assessment; earned a recognized industry certification; or completed a dual credit course with a C or higher. Students can also earn the recognition through completing a 300 hour co-op work experience!

Congratulations to these seniors:
Kris Johnson, Keelyn Hursey, Lydia Begley, Canaan Houk, Emma Brummett, Haley Bustle, and Ryli Bowman.

Fall means college admissions testing! Who should consider taking the ACT or SAT?
Seniors, testing in the fall gives you plenty of time for improvement if you don't get the score you need or want. Test in December and have time to test again in February or April.
Juniors, get a head start on college admissions by setting your baseline score in December. Use your results to make a strategic plan to prepare for the state test administration in March. Also, testing now gives more time to meet college benchmarks.
Sophomores and freshmen, get a college admissions exam on record now to qualify for dual credit opportunities your junior year.
See the graphic for information on dates and registration deadlines.

On Thursday, John Mills from Alice Lloyd College visited Mr. Lewis's English 12 students to tell them about the opportunities available at Alice Lloyd. He shared information about the college, programs and opportunities available to students, and what they could expect if they chose to attend. Several students were interested enough that they completed applications to Alice Lloyd during the visit. Thank you, Mr. Mills, for sharing such valuable information with our students! #RocketLearnerstoRocketLeaders

Fall is a critical time of year for seniors when they are planning college visits and actively thinking about what comes next after graduation. One important question they are asking is "What does that require?"
Over the next several weeks, we are working to help students answer that question. We will be looking at some of the most popular career paths and jobs shared by students, and we will share some of the requirements needed for that career--whether that is to get into a specific program or to take specific classes within the program.
Plan today for the career you want tomorrow!
