PSAT - The PSAT will be held each year in October at Carlisle High School. The PSAT is highly recommended for college bound juniors.

ASVAB Test – The Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery test is administered each year in February at Carlisle HS. This is a great career exploration survey for student – not just those considering a career in the military.
