SAT Program
The SAT Proctor Program serves as a significant fundraiser for the Mt. Carmel High School Music Foundation. It is one way for parents to offset their suggested family donation. Moreover, hosting the SAT provides a service to the students in our area by offering local test sites. Provided that all remains on track with PUSD and state guidelines, Mt. Carmel will host the first SAT on Saturday, December 5th.
We are still in need of a few SAT Proctors and are reaching out to our SAT volunteers (veterans and new) to help us fulfill our needs. If you have not already done so, please complete the brief Google Form even if you are unavailable at https://forms.gle/
If you no longer wish to be contacted regarding the SAT fundraiser, please indicate that on Google Form link below:
