3. EXPLORE Test (or Transfer Student Placement Test)

Along with your teachers' recommendations and academic transcripts, we will use your EXPLORE Test results to help determine your course schedule for the coming fall. 

Parochial School Students: Powers Catholic counselors will be coming to your school in November or December to administer the test to your whole class. 

Students from other area schools: Many public schools also use the EXPLORE Test during the 8th grade year.  If you take the test at your school, you just need to send us the results.  Not sure if you took the test?  Just ask your counselor or teacher.  If you have not taken the test already, we would love to have you come take it here on one of the dates below.  The test is free and takes about 2.5 hours.  Please bring a #2 pencil (not mechanical) and a calculator.

Transfer Students (Grades 10-12): Students wishing to transfer to Powers Catholic from another high school will be asked to take a short placement test.  The test is composed of four brief sections: English, Math, Reading, and Science.  Students will be given one hour to complete the test.  Appointments may be made with Ms. Sunday at (810) 591-4741.

4. Register for classes

Registration appointments are available by appointment only.  Incoming freshmen must take the EXPLORE Test before registration.

Parochial Schools: Powers Catholic counselors will visit the area parochial schools to register eighth grade students during the months of February and March. Parents are encouraged to make appointments through their elementary school to participate in the registration process. At the time of registration, a $100 registration fee, with a maximum of $200 per family, is due.

Students from other area schools: Powers Catholic counselors will be available to register new students in the Guidance Office at Powers. Please call the school to schedule an appointment. An unofficial copy of the student's transcript from his or her previous school and EXPLORE scores (for eighth grade students only) are required at the registration appointment. (We will have the scores for those students who took the EXPLORE test given by Powers.) The student is expected to attend the registration appointment along with a parent, parents, or guardians.  At the time of registration, a $100 registration fee, with a maximum of $200 per family, is due.
