• Juniors

    Have a wonderful summer! The counseling office is now closed and will re-open for Bear Down Days July 8th. Please look at the main website July 8th for details!

    All college-bound students are encouraged to test on the ACT or SAT during the spring of their junior year.  Please research your preferred college to decide which tests are most appropriate for their admissions requirements.  Every 4-year major university accepts either test.

    Basha will offer a free ACT April 9, 2026 for all juniors. Students are advised to log into ACT.org and create an account. All scores will post to ACT.ORG in 3-6 weeks typically.

    Constant news:

    All juniors will take the Civics exam this year through your American Arizona History class. Mr. Unger is the coordinator. Here is a link to a practice exam:

    As soon as you struggle in any class, ask your teacher when their tutor times are. Don't wait until you are feeling lost before you reach out. You should look at your grades every Wednesday in Infinite Campus. If you see a discrepancy, talk to your teacher immediately. Every Friday we want you to feel safe with the grade you are earning and viewing in IC.

    Get involved and be your best you this year! It is a great time to be a bear!
