College and Career Information
CHS College and Career Website College and Career Twitter College and Career Facebook Senior Info Junior Info Events PSAT/ASVAB October 11 @ 8:45 All 9th and 10th grade students will take the PSAT *Students will not be provided calculators. If they wish to bring their own please make sure to use an APPROVED CALCULATOR. All 11th grade students will take the PSAT/NMSQT (The National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test) Centennial will have a LIMITED NUMBER of calculators for the Juniors to use on the PSAT/NMSQT. Students are highly encouraged to bring their own calculator as use of a school calculator is NOT guaranteed. Students bringing personal calculators must ensure that they follow College Board Calculator Guidelines. There is no cost to the student for any PSAT test. Students will be registered by the school. All 12th grade students will take the ASVAB. A common misconception is that the ASVAB is only for military purposes; however, it is beneficial for all students. The career exploration scores can help determine readiness for further education and training in different career areas. The ASVAB is similar to standardized tests like the SAT, but it measures an individual’s potential rather than accumulated knowledge. Scholarships & Financial Aid Scholarships are in Career Cruising Career Cruising Instructions (Video) FAFSA is the Free Application for Federal Student Aid.

Parents must sign a permission slip so that the GO Center can evaluate and report on the effectiveness of the program. SAT/ACT SAT/ACT-- As a general rule, Juniors should take the SAT & ACT in the spring of their Junior year.

From the Student Support Counselor
Parents,
So, as a parent, you may be asking yourself, “Where do I go to find information regarding cyberbullying, bullying in general, etc.?” I have compiled some links for you to use as resources that I regard fairly high due to research put forth in their studies. Below you will find some of my “go to’s” for the latest information. There are resources on these sites for both you and your children.
stopbullying.org
kidshealth.org
cyberbullying.org
Stopcyberbullying.org
connectsafely.org
In addition, I am going to share some video links that might be helpful as well.
Below are some of my favorites.
Links to a Good Morning America segment on how to set controls on Instagram to help prevent bullying
Video on teens reacting to Amanda Todd
Assorted videos on cyberbullying
Videos to possibly watch with your children that show how to overcome bullying and some famous people that used to be bullied and how they moved past.
If you are not familiar with the story of David Molak, I encourage you to visit http://www.davidslegacy.org/ and learn more. From this tragic event, David’s Law was passed. This law not only puts in guidance on how schools approach bullying, but it also contains a component making the parents of those found guilty of bullying to take steps to ensure their student does not continue to bully.
I hope that these past few editions have been helpful and that you were able to take away something of use. As always, don’t hesitate to reach out to me with any questions or concerns.
