ACT

You can register for the ACT online at Please schedule an appointment with Mrs. Morrow during an elective class if you would like assistance with the registration process. If you have an IEP, see your special education teacher before you register. Our High School Code is 373-695. You will have to upload a photo of yourself when you register. Also, you have to show a photo id on test day along with your admission ticket. If you do not have these items, you will not be able to test. See Mrs. Morrow if you do not have a photo ID.

ACT allows students who receive free or reduced lunches to receive two fee waivers. This means you can take the ACT test two times for free. Please see Mrs. Morrow for your fee waiver.

If you order and pay for a Test Information Release (TIR) during the registration process, you will receive a copy of the multiple-choice test questions used to determine your score, a list of your answers, and the answer key. The fee is $20 and this option is only available on the December, April, and June test dates.
