Juniors-
Please use this Thanksgiving break to put in some active time preparing for SAT on Khan Academy. This is an online, self-paced guided tool to preparing for the SAT that a lot of students find beneficial. Here in the College Center, we enjoy Khan for 3 reason:
1. IT'S FREE- All students in HISD have access for no cost!
2. It's from College Board- College Board is the creator of both Khan Academy and the SAT, so, they are providing a FREE study guide to THEIR test!
3. It's personalized- Khan Academy uses your previous SAT (or PSAT) score to analyze the areas of weakness that the student needs the most help in and then provides them with guided practice.
Sophomores-
The EMERGE application is currently open to students in the class of 2022! This is an amazing program that links under represented students with top tier college options, resources, and one-one-one personal help. For more information, contact Mr. Joe Moon at
