Academic testing is an important part of any educational setting. At PHS, we work to prepare all students for the numerous tests they are required to take over the course of four years, from the CELDT and CAHSEE to the CSTs, PSATs, SATs, APs and more. In order to keep track of all of these important tests we have provided the following test descriptions and link to our testing calendar.
