Any student that participated in ACT District Testing here in April, ACT has updated some scores from that test. The following are the statements issued from ACT.

"Based on its continual evaluation of scores, ACT has informed us that it needs to reissue scores for students who took the ACT online during the school day this spring. If you are among those students, your current score will be removed from your MyACT account on Wednesday, May 13. When scores are available again (no later than June 2), your Composite score and section scores will remain the same OR go up slightly based on your individual performance. Your scores will NOT be lower than what was previously released. There is no action you need to take. ACT will post revised scores on MyACT and will be resending scores to your school. If you previously opted to send scores via ACT to a college, university, or scholarship-awarding organization, they, too, will be sent any updated scores."

"As you may be aware, ACT had previously removed scores from online testing this spring in MyACT. After a rescoring process to ensure all scores are fair and reliable, your Composite score and section scores have either stayed the same or have slightly increased based on your individual performance. Your scores are not lower than what was previously available in your MyACT account. We have shared reissued scores with your school. In addition, if you had ACT share your results with colleges or scholarship agencies, ACT is providing revised scores to each organization you identified. If you sent your scores outside of the ACT process, you should resend your updated scores (if affected) so that those institutions have the most up-to-date information. If you have questions, please submit an online inquiry form."

Attention Students!

We have received approval to add a seated Computers for Learning course this upcoming school year. If you are interested in taking this course for dual credit, please email your counselor.

Look over the course offerings list and see if there are any other courses you may be interested in taking. Most classes have prerequisites through the college. If one is not listed, they can be found on the college website.

All classes have a cost attached to them. Bills will be delivered to you directly from the university. Look over the application for more details.

If you plan to take a seated dual credit class this fall semester there will be a meeting during Open House. Keep an eye out for that information later in the summer. Links to the Course Offerings and Application are below. They can also be found on the counseling page.

We want to share a quick update with senior graduate families. Our graduation programs were printed with “Class of 2025” by mistake, but the printing company is already making it right. They will be reprinting corrected programs free of charge and every graduate family will be able to pick up two updated copies.

We’re grateful for their quick response—and even more grateful for our amazing school community and the understanding you all have shown while we work to get updated programs. We will update you once they have arrived for pick-up.

Last Friday, seniors who completed a survey celebrated their final day at Decision Day, an event recognizing their post-graduation plans, including entering the workforce, joining the military, attending technical school, or pursuing a two-year or four-year college degree.

Updated: A few of our seniors didn't upload the first time correctly. We have since added more of our amazing graduates.
