The PSAT/NMSQT (Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test) is a practice test for the SAT that also serves as a qualifying test for the National Merit Scholarship Program. It is a standardized digital test, co-sponsored by the College Board and the National Merit Scholarship Corporation (NMSC), that students in grades 10 and 11 can take annually in October. The test measures essential Reading, Writing, and Math skills for college and career readiness, and scores can be used to get free, personalized SAT practice on Khan Academy and connect with scholarships.


The PSAT will be given online at SWRHS on Thursday, October 15th. If you would like to sign up to take the PSAT, there are 75 spots available. These spots are available on a first-come, first-served basis, with juniors receiving priority and sophomores filling any remaining spots in the order of registration. The cost of the PSAT is $20.00.

Please feel free to email or see me, Ms. Groves, in the main office with any questions.

Would you or your business like to help us spread SWRHS Sunshine among our staff? We would love to have a Sunshine Cart for each month of school. You can donate funds, and we will do the shopping for you, or you can bring the items to us! We will walk around, gifting the staff with goodies. (Some previous carts have included donuts, baked goods, K-cups, individual bagged chips/snacks, drinks, and some even chose to pay for Kona Ice or coffee trucks to set up so each staff member could choose their treat.) We currently have all months available from August 2026 through June 2027. Just let us know what month you would like! *We have approximately 85 staff members.

Contact Karla Rush by email at tuckarla28@yahoo.com if you would like to help! Thank you for supporting your SWRHS faculty and staff!!
