While students in Grades 7-10 will be taking interim ACT Aspire tests on Tuesday and Wednesday, special plans have been made for juniors and seniors.
On Tuesday, Mrs. Cornett, counselor, has “adulting” activities planned for these students including how to change a tire and check oil in a vehicle, the dangers of credit cards, what to do if getting pulled over by a policeman, and an overview of taxes.
