HAVE YOU SIGNED UP TO TAKE THE ASVAB?
ASVAB: CAREER EXPLORATION PROGRAM TEST
Wednesday, Oct 19, 2016, 08:30 AM
Nation Ford High School, A O Jones Boulevard, Fort Mill, SC, United States
There are sometimes misconceptions about the ASVAB. You do not have to be going into the military to take the ASVAB. If you choose to take this test to further explore your career options, it does not tie you to interest in the military at all. It is a really good opportunity to get some answers about your future interests and career.
Sign Up in the guidance office by Friday, September 30th! See your counselor with questions.
