Students are encouraged to sign up to take the ASVAB Test, which will be offered at NASH on November 17, at 7:30 a.m. in The Place.  The ASVAB exam is an aptitude test designed to help young people align their strengths and interests with a post-secondary plan that works to their advantage. The ASVAB allows students to explore a full spectrum of occupations in line with their interests and skills whether they are college, trade school, military, or work force bound. The ASVAB will give students the best direction possible when planning what they would like to do after high school. Test scores will not be released to the military unless students or families grant permission to do so and the test is free of charge. If you are interested in taking the ASVAB, please stop by the NASH Main Office to register for the test before the end of the day Tuesday, November 15.
