These students lead with integrity, serve their schools and community with heart, and excel in the classroom. 📚✨

Ella Shoobridge (whose school spirit was on full display on Adam Sandler Day for homecoming week in her Bobby Boucher jersey)! 💙🩶👏🤩

Junior students & parents: see important info regarding upcoming SAT school day testing.

ALL JUNIORS: School Day SAT on Wednesday, March 4th

This assessment is mandatory and serves as Indiana’s high school accountability assessment for English and Math. To prepare for the test, students can review College Board’s SAT website and even take an online practice test using the link below.

https://bluebook.collegeboard.org/students/practice

* Juniors who normally attend satellite programs in the morning will report directly to Reitz on March 4th.

Participation in the school day SAT is free to juniors and students will be able to send their score reports to up to four colleges at no additional cost. Students will receive their SAT scores in May through their College Board accounts. Their scores may also be used to satisfy the Postsecondary Ready Competency of your student’s graduation pathway.

Students should check their emails next week for testing locations. Attendance on March 4th is very important. Make up exams will be given to students who are absent.
