JUNIORS: Mark your calendars for this year’s School Day SAT on Wednesday, March 4 
  
Completion of the SAT exam is a graduation requirement for all students in the 2026 graduation cohort just as the ILEARN exam was administered throughout the lower grades. This includes all 11th grade students regardless of whether they are enrolled in Hoosier Hills Career Center (HHCC), intend to graduate early, or plan to enroll in a post-secondary college or university. Even if a student has already taken a weekend SAT, they MUST participate in the School Day SAT on March 4. The score from this assessment can be used for college entry purposes. All juniors will complete the SAT exam with their SRT class (or in an alternate location based on state-approved accommodations) here at South on Wednesday, March 4 while our freshmen, sophomores, and seniors will be given enrichment work to complete during testing time.
