College Testing
College Testing at SHS
Preparing for college entrance exams is an important part of the high school experience, and SHS is here to support students every step of the way. We offer opportunities for students to take a practice ACT and the official ACT during the school day in grade 11, helping them gain valuable experience and earn college-reportable scores. Additionally, the PSAT is available to students in grades 10 and 11 who choose to register.
This page includes important details about registration and helpful preparation resources to support student success.
Families experiencing financial difficulty and need assistance in paying for college applications or college tests (ACT, SAT, PSAT, AP) may qualify for a fee waiver. Please contact your school counselor for more information.
