A few of our staff members spent the remote day at the ACT Summit Conference today. They learned about different avenues and strategies to improve overall student engagement and learning, as well as increasing ACT scores. They were also informed of the new changes coming to the ACT starting in April, which will not affect our students testing in March. They are now feeling even more qualified to help prepare our students for taking the ACT!
