ACT RESCHEDULE INFORMATION If you were scheduled to take the ACT on Saturday, April 14th, please read the following memo with reschedule information!

CLASS OF 2018: Don't forget the Academic Signing is TOMORROW, 1:30pm in the Wildcat Arena! Seniors need to eat 1st lunch and report to the auditorium with their purple graduation gown. All juniors will report to the arena and sit in the designated area after 3rd lunch is over. Do not go to your 6th period class. Go directly to the arena. Any freshmen and sophomores who have been invited to attend or have a senior sibling must be checked out through the office and walked around to the arena entrance used during basketball games. You may not enter through the JROTC/Freshmen Academy halls.

The Class of 2018 Honors' Night will take place TONIGHT at 6pm in the Wildcat Arena.

There were 99 students scheduled to take the ACT this past Saturday at SouthArk. Due to a fire that took place in the Administration building (immediately next to the building the ACT would have been administered in) and the long efforts to control/put out this fire, SouthArk had to cancel the ACT that morning. SouthArk was one of two sites that had to cancel this administration for one reason or another. This test will be rescheduled, but it will take some coordination with the ACT Test Supervisor, SouthArk, and ACT. Once that coordination takes place and a date finalized, ACT will send those students something in mail or email. If that test date does not work, students will not be refunded, but will need to call a special number provided by ACT to reschedule to the June or July test date at no charge. Students should NOT use the online tool to reschedule to June or July as this will result in a reschedule fee. If you have any additional questions, please contact the Guidance Office.

Academic Signing is Wednesday, April 18th.  ALL seniors will eat 1st lunch shift then report to auditorium with the purple graduation gown.  Senior will be lining up in auditorium.

CLASS OF 2018 Mark your schedules! Monday, April 16th is the Honors Assembly at 6pm in the Arena!

Congrats to the Soul of a Wildcat winners! Check out the Facebook post with a list and picture of winners!
