What is the P.E.R.T.?
The Postsecondary Education Readiness Test (P.E.R.T.) is Florida’s new common placement test. This test is used by all 28 Florida colleges to determine whether or not a student is ready for college credit courses in math and English. The P.E.R.T. has been aligned with the Postsecondary Readiness Competencies that Florida’s faculty have identified as necessary for success in entry-level college credit coursework. The test vendor, McCann Associates, has worked collaboratively with the Florida Department of Education’s Division of Florida Colleges and Florida College System faculty to develop and tailor items to faculty specifications. P.E.R.T. is comprised of three 25-item, computer adaptive subtests in reading, writing and mathematics.
Florida College System institutions began administering the P.E.R.T. in October 2010.

Art Students Compete!
The Congressional Art Competition is an annual high school art competition and exhibition representing congressional districts across the nation, which is coordinated by Members of Congress and the Congressional Institute.
Although the Congressional Institute has not yet made an official announcement regarding the 2023 competition, I wanted to get the Call for Entries out now. Once the official announcement is made, I will resend the Call for Entries with the new 2023 rules.Interested in Purchasing a Yearbook?
