Principal's Corner
Dear Yokota High School Stakeholders,
On Wednesday, October 17th Yokota High School will be administering the Preliminary Scholastic Aptitude Test/ National Merit Scholarship Corporation (PSAT/NMSQT) to all juniors, sophomores and freshmen enrolled in AVID. The test is funded by DoDEA and is therefore free of charge to our students. This is a visionary practice in that it provides firsthand practice for the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT), a centerpiece assessment used by most colleges and universities for admittance. It also gives our students a chance to enter NMSC scholarship programs and gain access to college and career planning tools.
Respectfully,
Darrell R. Mood
Principal

Class of 2013 Info
Senior Parents and Guardians: Be on the lookout for Graduation Announcement Packages/Order forms. Mrs. Wagner, the class sponsor will be handing them out during the last week of October. There are many packages to choose from BUT every graduating senior MUST have a cap and gown. The gown length must be come to mid-thigh. If your students can obtain one from a graduated sibling, that is fine also. There will be a relatively short turn around for ordering and please understand that the prices double after the final date – TBA. All the information on ordering will be coming in a separate email.
