If you are planning to attend college next year or if you are planning to take dual credit courses on our campus next year, you will have to take the THEA or Compass test.  Weatherford College is offering special testing times for high school students.  Information can be picked up in the counselor’s office regarding dates, times, and cost.  You must be signed up and make a partial payment tomorrow, so you need to take care of this as soon as possible.

If you are planning to take a dual credit class next year, the Early Admission Application that you need for registration is available in the counselor’s office.

Attention all students: Please remember to come to the office to get an admit slip if you have been absent any part of a day. Unless you get an admit slip, your absence will be unexcused. This will be important when trying to be exempt from semester exams.
