ONLY checks or money orders can be accepted.
Please make these out to Washington High and place the student's name in the Memo section.
During this time of economic concerns, if you feel you may need assistance with the cost of any additional exam (after the first exam) please ask your student to check the Google Form to discuss this with our AP team. We have some assistance available to help with student needs.
Fees will be accepted on the above dates outside of Ms. Junkins' Room (A210).
The Jefferson County Board of Education has offered to reimburse half of the cost of each exam taken (when a student scores a 3 or higher) once scores are released in July, 2026. Further information will be shared at a later date.
If you have further questions, please email Ms. Cathy Junkins at cjunkins@k12.wv.us

Washington High School Counselor
Jefferson County high schools will be administering the PSAT/NMSQTtest to all sophomores and registered juniors on Wednesday, October 22, 2025. As a result, on that day, all other students, including freshmen, juniors not testing, and seniors, will not report to the high schools. All outside Washington High School programs (i.e MedEd, Shepherd, JRTI, Blue Ridge, and JVA)will run as scheduled.
Instead, they will be receiving their course work through Canvas using the asynchronous model. We kindly request that parents/guardians ensure that their children are aware of this schedule change and make the necessary arrangements on that day.
We appreciate your understanding and cooperation in ensuring the smooth facilitation of this important academic assessment. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

We are excited to share that all sophomore students have been invited to participate in a special field trip to James Rumsey Technical Institute on Tuesday, October 14th. This is a wonderful opportunity for students to explore a variety of career and technical education programs offered at the institute.
To help us plan the day, students are asked to use the QR code below to select the programs that interest them most. Please complete your selections by Tuesday, October 7th.
Students received a permission slip in their English 10 classes, which must be completed and returned in order to attend the trip. Signed permission slips are due to students' 10th grade English teachers by October 7, 2025. No late permission slips will be accepted.
Kindly,
