PSAT Registration

The PSAT/NMSQT test will be offered at Mountain House High School on Saturday, October 15th. Any interested sophomores or juniors are eligible to take this test to prepare for the SAT exam. The PSAT is a multiple-choice assessment of verbal, mathematics, and writing skills.

The PSAT/NMSQT is an optional test that provides practice for the SAT Reasoning Test through personalized feedback of student performance with suggestions for improvement. The SAT Reasoning Test, taken later in the junior year can be used as a standardized test in college applications and may be helpful for students wanting to pursue admission to highly competitive colleges or universities. PSAT also serves as the National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (NMSQT). Top performing juniors nationally (approximately 1%) may be eligible for money through National Merit, National Achievement, or National Hispanic Scholarship funds.

Seats for the exam are limited and students are encouraged to sign up as soon as possible. The cost for taking the PSAT is $20 and can be paid for in person at the front desk or online at the MHHS webstore. The deadline for purchasing a place for the October sitting of the test is Friday, September 9th.

More information about the PSAT including sample test questions can be found here.

The College Board also has excellent resources, guides, and action plans to help parents plan for college: Big Future by the College Board

Back to School Night

Don’t forget this Thursday August 25th is Back to School Night at 6:30pm. The evening will start off by meeting in the gym, where you will get a chance to meet the school principal Mr. Ben Fobert and Vice Principals Brian Schum and Joni Hellstrom.  They will walk you through how to access Canvas, the resource used to view your student’s grades, assignments and much more. You will also get an overview of student centered blended learning and mastery based learning. The rest of the evening you will have the opportunity to attend each of your student’s classrooms, meet the teachers, and learn about the goals and expectations for each class. Back to school night is a great way to stay connected with your student’s education.   Students will be sending you a text or email on Thursday morning during their advisory period with their class schedule and room numbers so that you can be sure to get to all of the right classes.  We look forward to seeing you on Thursday Night starting at 6:30 P.M. in the gym.
