New Albany High School held their second annual Fall Fest on October 2nd during Eagle period. More than 50 student clubs and activities were represented offering the opportunity for students to learn about, sign-up, and become more involved at the high school. We also had representatives from our PTO, Columbus Public Library, and EF Tours promoting opportunities for our students. Since the introduction of Fall Fest and the reallocation of time during our Eagle period for club meetings, the high school has seen a forty percent increase in the number of student clubs. A list of the current established clubs at the high school can be found on our website.

The ASVAB Career Exploration Program is the only career planning resource that allows

students to explore multiple paths to success - college, certificates, apprenticeships, licensure

programs, or the military - all in one place! It is a timed multi-aptitude test which assesses

a student's ability to learn new skills and is a predictor of success in training and education

programs regardless of post-secondary intention. The ASVAB provides valuable feedback for all

students whether they are considering military service or not!

This test is optional for all juniors and seniors and a permission slip signed by parent/guardian must be submitted to sit for the test. Click on the link to learn more.
