2026 PSAT Testing For 10th And 11th Grade Students - Monday, October 26

On Monday, Oct. 26, we will administer the PSAT test to our 10^th and 11^th grade students.

We will have an adjusted bell schedule to accommodate the PSAT, with structured activities for other grades taking place throughout the day (For 9^th and 12^th grade students, regular classroom instruction will not take place during the testing period.  School will remain open, and supervision will be provided for any 9^th or 12^th grade students who are on campus.  Families should keep this modified school day in mind when making plans for the 9^th and 12^th grade students on October 26):
