Attention, sophomores, juniors and seniors: WHS will be offering ASVAB testing April 16 for interested students. The ASVAB is offered as part of the ASVAB career exploration program to help guide students in matching their skills to postsecondary planning.

ASVAB assessment results can be used as one measure for meeting the alternate assessment pathway if a student achieves a score of at least 31.

Students who are interested in a branch of the military may use the ASVAB to measure their aptitude in certain skills.

Students must be in grades 10, 11 or 12 and at least 16 years old to participate in ASVAB testing.

Complete the form on the weekly newsletter if you would like to register to participate in ASVAB testing this year. See your counselor if you have further questions.

Reminder: On Wednesdays, WCSD students and staff are encouraged to wear their Whitehall gear or colors. From our youngest learners to our seniors, this weekly tradition helps build a strong sense of community across all grades.
