This class is designed to prepare Juniors for the high-stakes tests they will be taking in the next year and a half including AP, SAT, ASVAB, Lane Placement, and SBAC tests. Additionally, the purpose of this class is to expand student's persuasive abilities and real-world awareness. This class is primarily non-fiction. Below (and to the left) is a link to the class calendar, including due dates for assignments. All assignments are posted through Google Classroom.
