• Today's Tennis Match with Captain Shreve has been canceled.

• Juniors:

  • Remember, you will take the ACT next Tuesday, March 7.  You will need to bring your ACT approved ID, charged chromebook, a charger, and your ACT approved calculator.  Make sure you are on campus no later than 7:30 am, keep your cell phone in your vehicle and report directly to your testing location at the first bell.  Remember, hoodies are not allowed on campus on a regular day and cannot even be brought into the building on testing day. Dress appropriately in layers to prevent getting too hot or too cold. 

  • Visit gorebs.org for additional information about the ACT. You will look under the Parent & Students Tab.  Click TESTING and then open the "ACT Documents" folder. There you will find information about the required ID for testing day as well as general instructions for the day itself.

• Freshmen, Sophomores, and Juniors: A-HEC applications must be mailed by this Friday, March 3rd. A-HEC allows students to get up close and personal with doctors, nurses, patients, and other allied health professionals. This program is free. It takes place during the summer for three weeks at a local hospital and is worth a semester elective grade. If you are interested in this great opportunity, come by room 3101 and pick up an application on the desk outside Mrs. Nelson’s room. 

• Juniors and Seniors: If you are interested in health careers and would like to participate in the summer program M*A*S*H at Louisiana Tech, pick up an application on the desk outside Mrs. Nelson’s room 3101. You have the opportunity to learn about medical theories, diagnosis, and treatments through lab exercises and lectures in this 12-day course. You must have a 3.0 GPA or higher and at least 21 ACT composite score. The due date for this opportunity is March 3rd. Once you have your application completed, mail it to the address on the bottom of the application.

• The Apple test will be offered on Tuesday, March 21st. If you know another language, wish to test out of world language classes, and want to qualify for the Louisiana Seal of Biliteracy, this is the test for you. See Mrs. Ballance in room 2207 to sign up or to get more information. The cost of the test is $20.
