1. State Testing April 9

On Thursday, April 9, Freshman, Sophomores, and Juniors will take the PreACT or ACT. 

Why it Matters:

  • The ACT exam for juniors is a state-required test for graduation. 

  • It serves as a multi-purpose tool that strengthens college applications, unlocks significant merit-based scholarships, and ensures students are placed in credit-bearing courses to save time and money on tuition.
