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.
