AP Testing
AP Exams will be administered from May 1 – May 12 at Kellam. Families should review their student’s testing schedule in Total Registration and reach out to Kellam’s AP Coordinator, Juliana Caruso, as soon as possible if there are any known conflicts. Also, please be sure the contact emails and phone numbers in Total Registration for both students and parents are correct, as important testing information, room locations, and logistics will be sent to those contacts in the coming weeks. Please be on the lookout for that communication.
Deadline to register for the AP exams has already passed. If a student wishes to cancel an exam, they should request the cancellation in Total Registration to initiate the refund, minus the $40 cancellation fee.
Class of 2023 Scholarships
As we spring into Scholarship Season, our school counseling department would like to share information to help encourage seniors to search, find, and apply for scholarships.
To search for local scholarships, students are encouraged to utilize our school division’s scholarship website, Scholarship Central and our school’s scholarship listings, Kellam Senior Scholarships. Both resources are updated on a regular basis, so it is important to check the sites regularly for new scholarship opportunities.
We also need your help to identify all students who have been offered a scholarship. This information will be used to determine scholarship totals for the Class of 2023 as well as recognitions for the Senior Awards Program this June. Individual scholarships, money offered from potential colleges, and the GI Bill should be reported. This Google Form provides instructions and additional details: Class of 2023 Scholarship Reporting.
