The ACT Senior Retake
Opportunity is Tuesday, October 2nd, 2018 at school. All seniors may take
the ACT for free on this date, whether or not they have previously
tested. All seniors are REQUIRED to complete the form linked below no
later than Tuesday, August 21st in order to register for or decline this
opportunity. The form contains further information. Reminder:
Taking the ACT is a graduation requirement in the state of
Tennessee. All seniors are encouraged to take the ACT more than
once as research demonstrates a 1-3 point increase in scores between the first
and second attempt and further increases in subsequent tests.
Quote of the day from Vince Lombardi:
The spirit, the will to win, and the will to excel are the things
that endure. These qualities are so much
more important than the events that occur.
Practice L&N
Habits every day: Professionalism, Critical Thinking, Collaboration,
