The District will sponsor several ACT prep courses this year. You may want to talk to your child about the importance of that composite score for College and Dual Enrollment. Students must earn a 19 in English and Math to take DE courses in high school. Univerisites will only take TOPS Opportunity, Performance, or Honors, which all have a composite of 20 or higher. Be sure to help your child get the score they need for college and TOPS money!
