PLAN tests will be taken in late September. The PLAN test is a national standardized pre-ACT tests and free to WHS sophomores. The results will come in about 6 weeks later. Expect your counselor to call you in ..individually ... sometime before the winter break to review your results.  If your parent(s)/guardian(s) would like to be a part of that process, let your counselor know to schedule a time for you all to meet. Otherwise, please share your results with them. Let your counselor know if you have questions. Get prepared for the ACT or SAT and click here to check out our National Test dates page.

WACC Applications are due in early March. There is no tuition/textbook fee for WHS students. For those interested in attending the Warrensburg Area Career Center (Vo-Tech) for any one of the following careers, you will have to complete and submit an application to your counselor in March of your sophomore year. To increase your potential for acceptance into the program of your choice, keep your grades up, keep your attendance up, avoid tardy's, avoid discipline referrals, avoid truancies, and let your counselor know your career interests early on so (s)he can better support your application into a particular program.
