SAT/ACT PREP. Detail. The Princeton Review and RHS PTSA have partnered to provide the opportunity for students to take a " just for practice" ACT and/or SAT test. After taking the test, students return for a "Scores Back" session. They will receive their graded tests along with the answer key so they can determine their strengths and weaknesses. Scores are not reported to anyone other than the student. These tests are open to any local, interested students (not just RHS students)

WASHINGTON'S HEALTHCARE PIONEER: GROUP HEALTH COOPERATIVE. Saturday, September 9th @ 10:30am. Think the Seattle area is progressive now?
