OHS Seniors – Are You Planning To Take The SAT? Last Chance To Preregister Now!
Although some four-year colleges don't require an admission test score as part of your application, the test strengthens your college application nearly everywhere. Most U.S. colleges and universities accept the SAT. If you're not sure which college you want to attend, it's a good idea to take the test.

Taking the SAT is strong evidence that you're ready for college and have what colleges are looking for. Plus, you can choose to only send your best scores to colleges. Together with high school grades, the SAT can show your potential to succeed in college or career.

For more information on the SAT click here. Space is limited! To preregister for the SAT, sign up in the College & Career Center NOW.  The testing date for the Fall 2026 SAT will be announced soon.  Practice tests are available at https://satsuite.collegeboard.org/psat-nmsqt/preparing/practice-tests.

For more information, stop by the College and Career Center during lunch, or before or after school, or contact Ms. Baker at jbaker@onysd.wednet.edu.

Athletes - Do You Want To Compete In Sports At An NCAA School?
Create the Eligibility Center account that's right for you! If you want to compete in NCAA sports, you need to register with the NCAA Eligibility Center. Plan to register before starting your freshman year of high school (or year nine of secondary school). The information below will help guide you through the registration process. If you have questions about which OHS courses qualify for NCAA eligibility, contact Mrs. Jacoby at hjacoby@onysd.wednet.edu to set up an appointment to discuss your course requirements.

To get started, review the three account options and choose the one that's right for you! You'll only need to create one account with the Eligibility Center. Starting with the free Profile Page is best practice, as you can transition it later to the Certification account needed for your circumstances. Already have an NCAA account? If unsure, please contact Customer Service at 877-262-1492 for assistance, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Eastern time.
