PSAT Test 2024 - 10th & 11th Grade Students
On Wednesday, October 9, 2024 BHS will be offering the PSAT here at school. The PSAT test is optional for 10th and 11th grade students.
The PSAT is a College Board test. College Board also administers the SAT and AP tests. The PSAT is designed to give students who are planning on taking the SAT an idea of how the SAT is designed. For Juniors, the PSAT is the qualifying test for the highly selective National Merit Scholarship program as well as a test that can be used when applying for the Kentucky's Governor's Scholars Program. Information on the PSAT can be found in this presentation.
Sophomore and Junior students who are interested in taking the PSAT should register for the test at the link below by September 26th. The PSAT test costs $18 and this fee can be turned into the high school office by September 26th.
Students who sign up for the PSAT will take the test on their Chromebooks here at BHS Wednesday, October 9th at 8:00 AM. There is no make-up date for this test.
For those who have further questions or wonder if the PSAT is a good fit for your student should contact your student's school counselor.
Tutoring
After school tutoring is held on Tuesdays and Thursdays after school until 4 PM throughout the school year. This is a FREE service Beechwood offers for any student that needs support with their schoolwork. There is no need to sign up; students can just show up when they need to. Students can report to the office after school to find out which teacher is hosting that week.

Seats are categorized into $300, $400, and $500 levels and can be purchased through this link: https://our.show/beechwood/seatnaming
We will follow up to ensure we have the correct name(s).
