That’s right, it counts towards your graduation! 🎓🔥 The ASVAB will be given on Tuesday, April 15, 2025 in the morning, and you MUST register by Wednesday, March 26, 2025 to sign up. Students in grade 10 can take it too, but it’ll just be for practice, so no worries if you're still exploring your options! 🎯 Important: IF YOU PLAN ON USING YOUR SCORE TO MEET GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS….You’ll also need to fill out a Military Letter of Intent to make everything official (no, it’s not for the military – it stays right here at Bishop Dwenger in your permanent file).
