The ASVAB will be given at Mapletown High School on Friday December 2, 2011.  Students in Grades 10-12 may take the test if they request prior to the test date.  It is an excellent aptitude battery and offers valuable career insight.
On Tuesday, November 15, 2011 Mapletown Jr. / Sr. High School will be hosting a College and Career Fair.  College and Career fairs provide a great way for students and parents to receive information about a lot of different schools at once.  As soon as I know how many Colleges and Businesses are interested in participating in this event I will be able to provide you with the exact logistics of the event.  It would be greatly appreciated if you and your organization would be able to participate in this event.  I know that your time is very valuable to you, but by giving of your time you will be helping many students with one of the biggest decisions that they will make in their lives.
