Are You College Bound?
It's not too early for ACT testing. Sophomores who are planning to attend college after high school should take every opportunity to improve ACT Test scores. The students have been challenged to take the test at least two times during their 10th grade year. The administration at USD 261 feel that it is important for students to experience the ACT environment frequently to gain a comfort level necessary to score in a range consistent with admission and scholarship offers. view ACT parent letter
