All juniors will take the ACT in March 2025 at school starting at 8:20 a.m. Students do NOT need to register for the exam; that will be taken care of through the school.
Many times students choose to take the ACT or SAT more than once. Students who are interested in becoming a teacher should also plan to take the essay portion of the ACT or SAT since this component may meet testing requirements during college.
