PSAT/NMSQT TEST FOR JUNIORS
College-bound juniors may wish to consider taking the PSAT/NMSQT, which is the best preparation for the SAT and entry into the National Merit Scholarship Corporation programs. It is an optional exam that measures reading, writing and language, and math skills developed over many years that are important for success in college. Students do not have to recall facts from literature, history, science or math formulas, as this test measures reasoning and critical thinking skills.
All students who take the PSAT/NMSQT will receive an official score report. They will receive scores in critical reading, mathematics, and writing skills and will see how their scores compare to those of other students across the country. Students will be able to see which answers they got right or wrong. They will also receive information about how they performed on specific academic skills.
Students who take the test will receive personalized online SAT practice through Khan Academy based on their test performance. Learn more at collegeboard.org/psat.
Registration for the PSAT is due Friday, October 6, at 3:00pm in the Student Services Office. The cost for the PSAT is $20 and checks should be made payable to HUHS. The exam will be given on Wednesday, October 11, from 7:25am to 11:35am. At the time of registration, students will be given a student guide that includes test-taking help and a full-length practice test. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact the Student Services Office at 670-3200, ext. 214, or

SAVE THE DATE: FINANCIAL AID PRESENTATION
Financial Aid is provided for by the federal government, the State of Wisconsin, outside scholarship sources, and the college/universities themselves. Most aid is based on financial need and is designed to help meet the difference between the cost of college and the student and family's ability to pay for the education.
HUHS will be hosting a presentation for college-bound students and their parents to learn about grants, loans, student employment, and scholarships on Wednesday, November 1 at 6:30pm. A speaker from Moraine Park Technical College will be here to discuss the process of how families finance college costs through all the available options. Senior students and parents should plan to attend!
|
COLLEGE APPLICATION TIP
Save the speech. Tell the tale. No need to stress out about the college application essay or be nervous if you think of it as a conversation or a story about yourself. You aren't giving a speech to thousands of people but someone in the Admissions Office who really wants to hear it! The essay is a story that means something to you and if you are able to convey that meaning to Admissions, you've done the job.
If you'd like help with your college essay, Mrs. Carter or Mr. Dobberstein are available in the Writing Center during 5th and 6th period. Mr. Schliewe is available during Resource on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Fridays in Room 84. All three are English teachers.

NAMI - Mental Health Conference
Mental Illness Awareness Week Program
"Is my moody teen just being a teenager, or is there something else going on?" This is a question many parents ask themselves. NAMI Washington County's Mental Illness Awareness Week Program will address those concerns. This free program is scheduled for 7:00 p.m. on Tuesday, October 3, at the Maurin Center, Lac Lawrann, 300 Schmidt Road, in West Bend. The target audience is parents, grandparents, and other caregivers of school-aged children and teens.
Attendees will learn common warning signs of mental health conditions that can arise during the upper elementary through high school years. They will learn why addressing a child's mental health early matters, the risks of not intervening, how to partner with schools, resources available through the schools, and resources through NAMI. A mother and her daughter will present their personal stories of how the daughter developed a severe mental illness while in high school. They will relate how they partnered with the schools to help the young woman to not only recover but to succeed in high school. A resource person from the West Bend Schools will also be available.

Fulop's Fancy Footwork - Junior Scores Four Goals in Orioles' Win
|
TOWN OF HARTFORD - The No. 18 hole at Rolling Meadows Golf Course doesn't give Hartford Union senior Andrea O'Bryon fond memories.
"That was the year we were three strokes off of Homestead to go to state as a team for the first time in school history ... and I tripled the last hole," O'Bryon said. "I felt so bad because everyone else shot like their best scores ever and I was like 'Sorry, guys.'" The 2015 Orioles finished three strokes behind the Highlanders (325-328) as the then-sophomore shot a 91. Now a senior, she'll get a chance to perhaps make a better finish at sectionals Tuesday after Hartford qualified for the Fond du Lac sectional with a 365 on Wednesday to place third at the Hartford Regional, hosted by the Hartford Golf Club.
Arrowhead shot a 320 to earn the regional plaque. Homestead was second (338), and Cedarburg was fourth with a 366, the last
team to qualify. Germantown shot a 418 to place ninth.
