HIGHLAND COUNSELOR'S and the
COLLEGE & CAREER ADVISOR MESSAGE
COLLEGE & CAREER ADVISOR MESSAGE
We are excited to see the enthusiasm of the juniors that signed up and paid to take the PSAT this school year! The PSAT will be offered on October 10th at Highland High School during the school day. All Sophomores will be taking the exam and their particiaption is paid for by the State of Idaho.
Taking the test provides juniors with National Merit Scholarship opportunities as well as better preparation for the SAT college entrance exam taken in April.
As stated in the “Important Information from your School Counselors” letter that was included in your schedule pick-up information, juniors that paid to take the exam and then do not test, will have a $4.00 unused test fee added to their school fees. The CollegeBoard charges HHS for each of these unused exams.
Juniors can find a code, unique to each student, on their PSAT score sheet from the 10th grade year. HHS does not get sent a copy of this sheet. Once an account is created using this code, students will have the opportunity to utilize the partnership between CollegeBoard and Kahn Academy to study for the October PSAT as well as the April IDAHO SAT DAY college entrance exam that is paid for by the state of Idaho.
Parents & senior students are invited to the 'How To Pay For College' Night put on by the College and Career Advisers at HHS on September 24th, 2018. This evening is focused on answering the question of 'how to pay for college' by having various representatives from Idaho State University speak about options for incoming college students. Departments include Financial Aid, Scholarship Office, College of Tech Recruiter, ISU Recruiter, Bengal Bridge Summer Program. This event will be held in the Highland High School Library at 6:30 pm.
Pizza will be served!
Please RSVP via this Google Form if you plan on attending=
