On Wednesday, November 20, from 10:00 am - 11:00 am, several area colleges, trade schools, and military branches met exclusively to the students of Endeavor. Any questions concerning the enrollment process, financial assistance, and career options were answered.

We can't figure out who loves these monthly visits more, the people of Endeavor High School or Nugget himself. He gets so excited every month. You can see it when he gets out his car and he puts the leash in his mouth to carry it to Mr. Sims. He's one of our own now.

Both the SAT and the ACT are nationally administered, standardized tests that help schools evaluate your application and see how prepared you are for college courses. The SAT and ACT generally cover the same topics. Both ACT and SAT scores are used for college admissions decisions and awarding merit-based scholarships. Most colleges do not prefer one test over the other. Neither the SAT nor ACT is harder than the other. Different students tend to do better on one test than the other.
