Juniors:  The SAT test will be given at Brandon High School on April 10th.  It is highly suggested that you start preparing for this important test now.  It is recommended that you attend a test prep class of some kind.  Attached is more information about a class that Schoolegiate has to offer if you are interested.
 
Dual Enrollment:  There will be a dual enrollment presentation at 6:00 on Thursday, February 1st at 6:00.  Please come out and see how you can earn both high school credit and college credit simultaneously while still attending high school.  Contact the Counseling Office for more details.
