This optional opportunity is only open to juniors and seniors, and is completely free. This tool is used by our military branches, and one of our military reps will review the results with each student when we return from winter break. This is an awesome opportunity for students that might have an interest in enlisting in a military branch after high school.

Ohio State Tests (OSTs) Retakes
The window for OST end-of-course exam retakes is Monday, November 27th – Friday, December 8th. The only students participating in these exams are select groups of sophomores, juniors, and seniors.  Seniors participating in these exams were notified through an individual conference with their school counselor and parents will receive this same information in the mail.  The select group of sophomores and juniors includes any student that needs to retake an exam in order to earn a competency score and/or seal to meet Ohio’s graduation requirements. These sophomores and juniors will be notified through an individualized Canvas message.  Students in these select groups should be prepared to take these exams on the designated day by reporting to the Media Center at 7:40 a.m. with a fully-charged iPad that has the Secure Test app downloaded from Self-Service. Reach out to your student’s school counselor or Mr. Anderson, Assistant Principal, with any questions.

Class of 2024 – Senior Friendsgiving Lunch
We will be hosting our 2^nd annual Senior Friendsgiving Lunch on Tuesday December 5th from 11:30-1:00pm in the fieldhouse.  The lunch will be catered by Der Dutchman.  The cost of the lunch is $20.  We will also have some cool raffle prizes during the lunch!  Our final number of seniors participating needs to be submitted by November 28th.  Tickets must be purchased by 2:30pm on Tuesday November 28th^t.

We know that we have students that may not be able to afford to attend.  Last year, we had numerous parents that purchased “extra tickets” for those seniors that may not be able to afford it.  We were able to allow over 40 more seniors to attend that would not have been able to.  So, when you go to sign up on Local Level, there will also be a button that you can choose to “donate a ticket(s)”.  We would greatly appreciate any support you may be able to give.  Last year we had over 130 seniors attend and this year we are hoping to have this number at least doubled.
