Graduation Update:
After carefully reviewing multiple weather reports, speaking with our seniors, and considering all other factors, we have made the decision to move graduation from 7:00 PM to 6:00 PM. Weather conditions will be reevaluated tomorrow morning at 8:00 AM, and if there are any significant changes in the forecast overnight, adjustments will be made accordingly. Any updates will be communicated as soon as possible.
We also encourage everyone attending tomorrow’s ceremony to be prepared for the possibility of rain and to plan accordingly with appropriate rain gear if needed. Please note that umbrellas will not be permitted during the ceremony, as they may obstruct the view of others in attendance.
We appreciate everyone’s flexibility and support as we work to provide the best possible experience for the Class of 2026 and their families.

Attention 11th Grade Students and Parents:
An update from ACT:
Good news! Your scores from the Spring 2026 school-day ACT online test are once again available in MyACT.
As you may be aware, ACT had put scores from online testing this spring on hold in MyACT. After a rescoring process to ensure all scores are fair and valid, your Composite score and section scores have either stayed the same or are slightly higher based on your individual performance. Your scores are not lower than what was previously released.
We have shared any reissued scores with your school. In addition, if you had ACT share your results with any college or scholarship agency, ACT is providing any revised scores to any organization you identified for us. If you sent your scores outside of the ACT process, you should resend your updated scores (if affected) so that those institutions have the most up-to-date information.

Good Morning, Bus 306 is running 45 mins late this morning but is en route. Thanks for your patience.
Good Afternoon,
This information is for students who took the ACT this spring. If you have any questions, feel free to contact Mr. Volk or ACT directly. Thank you!
Based on its continual evaluation of scores, ACT has informed us that it needs to reissue scores for students who took the ACT online during the school day this spring. If you are among those students, your current score will be removed from your MyACT account on Wednesday, May 13. When scores are available again (no later than June 2), your Composite score and section scores will remain the same OR go up slightly based on your individual performance. Your scores will NOT be lower than what was previously released. There is no action you need to take. ACT will send revised scores to you via MyACT and will be resending scores to your school both by shipping paper score reports and electronically in online reporting. If you previously opted to send scores via ACT to a college, university, or scholarship-awarding organization, they, too, will get the updated scores no later than June 2. If you or your family have additional questions, you may reach out to ACT directly at 319.337.1313.
