The PSAT(Preliminary SAT) will be given at Walton during the school day on October 17th.
10th graders will take the test for FREE.
9th and 11th will pay $13.00(pay in the records room now until Oct 12th by check or cash).
The PSAT must be taken during the junior year in order to qualify for the National Merit Scholarship Program. This is an excellent opportunity to practice this very important test.
