Testing...Testing...1, 2, 3...
The School Counseling Office coordinates many state and federally mandated tests throughout the year that affect students.  It can be confusing with so many tests - who is being tested?  What is the test for?  When/how will the test be given?  Click here to view a handout of all the tests our office will coordinate this year.

Senior 6 Year Plan Requirements
All students in Saint Paul must complete a 6 Year Plan (4 years of high school + the first 2 years after graduation) as part of their graduation requirements.  At HPSH students will use their Family Connection website as their 6 Year Plan.  Family Connection is a website where students can explore interests through surveys and interest inventories, complete research on colleges and careers, and track college applications.  Counselors met with all senior advisories in October to review their requirements for the 6 Year Plan.
