Center-Stanton has been approved as "an unlisted" ACT test site. The dates we are allowed to test on our "unlisted site" are: June 12 July 17 Typically, you would have 30-40 days prior to the test date to register. Please contact Mr. Peterson (ACT TEST COORDINATOR) to get the unlisted code for registering for these tests. This would be open to 10-12th graders. ACT can be taken as often as you like - but there is a fee to register that the student-family pays and not the state/school. We have limited seating. ACT is required for college registration and for most state scholarship awards. We also offer the WorkKeys test to help qualify for scholarship, as well. We hope to add more ACT test dates in the Fall corresponding with national test dates. Website to register is: www.act.org Contact Mr. Peterson for the unlisted codes and for more information. Thank you.
