Oakcrest High School juniors recently participated in an assembly program designed to help them prepare for the upcoming High School Proficiency Assessment (HSPA) scheduled to take place in early March.

Bruce Boguski, author of The Testing Zone, spoke to students in the school’s auditorium. During the presentation, Boguski addressed students about the importance of preparing for tests by getting a good night’s sleep and eating a healthy breakfast in addition to a host of other practical suggestions for increasing performance. Boguski also spoke with staff earlier in the year during a professional development workshop.

The staff at OHS is committed to preparing students for this important test. “The program was directed at helping our students understand how to prepare mentally and physically for the HSPAs,” explained Maria Caiafa, OHS vice principal who coordinated the event.

Two presentations were held to accommodate the junior class.
