October 17th ~ Not just
another ordinary day!
Western High will have four different grade-level activities
the morning of October 17, 2007!
9th grade: MEAP Social Studies Assessment
The purpose of social studies is to develop social understanding
and civic efficacy (the readiness and willingness to assume
citizenship responsibilities and to make informed and reasoned
decisions for the public good as citizens of a democratic society.)
The MEAP Social Studies test will measure the level of student
knowledge in this area.
10th grade: PLAN Test
PLAN® helps tenth graders build a solid foundation
for future academic and career success and provides information
needed to address school districts' high-priority issues. It is a
comprehensive guidance resource that helps students measure their
current academic development, explore career/training options, and
make plans for the remaining years of high school and
post-graduation years. Results will be discussed with students in a
counselor presentation.
11th grade: PSAT/NMSQT Test
PSAT/NMSQT stands for Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship
Qualifying Test. It's a standardized test that provides firsthand
practice for the SAT I: Reasoning Test and SAT II: Writing Test. It
also gives students a chance to qualify for National Merit
Scholarship Corporation's (NMSC) scholarship programs.
12th grade: WHS’s First Annual College Fair!!We
will have representatives from up to 30 local, state, and even
out-of-state Universities. The College Fair will take place from
start of school until 11 am on test day. This is a fantastic
opportunity for our Seniors to explore their college options and ask
any questions they may have from actual university representatives.
What an enormous opportunity for all WHS students to gain
insight and information regarding college and career planning!
