The decision to make the PreACT on 4/8 a 9th and 10th grade-only day bumped our rotational schedule by one day. You can see the updated year-at-a-glance calendar here.

• A strong score allows you to qualify for officer training programs such as ROTC.

• Application to military academies can require an average composite of 30.

• Certain military career fields require higher aptitude scores. Obtaining these jobs can lead to bonuses upwards of $50,000.

• Many military scholarships consider ACT scores as part of the selection process.

• If you pursue further education during or after your military service, it can improve your acceptance.

• A high ACT score reflects strong problem-solving and critical thinking skills.

• If enlisting, the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB) test has similar structures and skills as the ACT.

Greetings from Aurora Medical Center Summit!

Students and parents are invited to join us on Thursday, March 6th, 2025, from 4-7 pm for our second annual Career Exploration Fair! We had such a successful event last year, that we decided to offer this amazing event again this year! Please see the attached flyer here.

Students will find clinical and non-clinical departments represented with lots of interactive displays. They will be able to hear directly from experts from those departments to learn first-hand about careers in health care. There will be a few local universities on-site as well, and I will be present to speak to students about volunteer opportunities. This is a drop-in event, so no RSVP is required.
