Along
with all other Michigan 11th grade students, our juniors will be
taking the Michigan Merit Exam March 11-13, 2008.
Preparation
is the key in doing well on these exams. The web sites below will provide sample
tests and test taking tips.
Additionally, the library will be open every Wednesday until 3:30 for
students who sign up. Remember there is a cash incentive ($4,000 toward
college) for those who do well!
