SAT for Juniors on March 5th – Digital Learning Day for Other Grades
The state of Ohio pays for the ACT or SAT one time to all eligible high school students during the state-funded administration of the exam in the spring of their junior year.
On Wednesday, March 5th, all current Juniors will report to Darby High School no later than 7:35 am to take the SAT – this includes Juniors who attend Tolles. All Freshmen, Sophomores, and Seniors have a digital learning day and will not report to school.
Juniors – for quick information, please view the SAT School Student Guide. Contact your school counselor with any questions!
