The Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB) is much more than a military test. It serves as a comprehensive career exploration assessment, helping students identify strengths, aptitudes, and potential career pathways. After testing, students will complete the "Find Your Interests" (FYI) inventory and use the results to connect personal interests with career options. This tool is valuable for all students, whether or not they are considering military service.

Chadron High School will also be offering the SAT® School Day, PSAT/NMSQT®, PSAT™ 10, and PSAT™ 8/9.
