Registration for this Thursday’s ASVAB test is due by the end of the day today. The ASVAB test will be offered this Thursday at 8am in The Place. Please stop by the NASH Main Office to register. The ASVAB exam measures a student’s developed abilities and helps predict future academic and occupational success. The team here at NASH feels the ASVAB will give students the best direction possible when planning what they would like to do after high school.
