Sophomores and seniors at two of Yuma's high schools will be required for the first time to take a military test this week — unless their parents opt them out of the exam.
Kofa High School and Yuma High School students will be taking the Armed Services Vocational Battery (ASVAB) test.
This is the first time the Yuma Union High School District has given the ASVAB on a schoolwide level. The test has been available in the past to individual students who requested to take it.
The ASVAB is a national aptitude test provided to high schools and post-secondary schools since 1968, according to the Military Entrance Processing Center. MEPC personnel out of San Diego will be on hand to help the schools with the testing.
