If you have had a chance to ask our Juniors how school is going, they might have told you the good news about state testing this year. Instead of taking the NeSA tests in writing, reading, math and science, they will now take the ACT. The ACT is the most commonly used college entrance exam. It is a about a 4 hour assessment made up of multiple tests in English, Reading, Math, Science and Writing. In the past, students in their junior or senior year would have to pay $42.50 to take the ACT on a Saturday in Grand Island. Now, because of the change in the law, the 11th graders across the state will be able to take the ACT at their own school, during the day, at no expense to them. They will also be able to send the results to colleges that they are interested in attending. Our teachers have been preparing the students to take the ACT between April 19th and May 3rd. Prior to taking the test, the juniors will be taking the popular John Baylor prep course. The teachers will also have access to the ACT Online Prep to aide in preparing the students. We look forward to the challenge of having all of our students take the ACT this school year. If you have any questions at all about the ACT, state testing or anything at all please feel free to contact Mr. Zessin at the high school 583-2249.
