ACT Test Prep

Tuesday, April 2nd, 2019

Dana Epley on November 27, 2018

It is hard to believe that ACT testing is just around the corner for this year's juniors.  All juniors in the state of Nebraska are taking the ACT on Tuesday, April 2nd, 2019.  Yes, this is the same date as a high school track meet, but the track meet will go on without juniors participating in it.

  • HERE is a link to the ACT prep letter sent home to all junior parents on November 27th, 2018.
  • HERE will be a link to the letter that will be sent home to juniors about the April 2nd test date at the beginning of the 2nd Semester.
    • Please note that all juniors are asked to be at school by 7:45 AM for testing/breakfast on April 2nd.
    • If all juniors are on time for testing, they will be dismissed at the conclusion of the test for the remainder of the school day.
  • Mrs. Ashley Wit is the LN testing coordinator, and Mrs. Porter is the guidance counselor who will receive the ACT testing results and help students with submitting these to colleges their senior year.
  • Looking back at the 2018 graduates and the 2018 testing for our juniors, it is important to note everything ACT test scores, as well as our pathway programs, and educational system at SCNUSD #5 have done for our students:

    • 2018 Graduates

      • 10 students were awarded and are taking advantage of the CCC transition scholarship, which is 12 free credits.  To qualify the students took 12 CCC college credits while in high school and are now attending CCC.  

      • 4 students were awarded the Susan Thompson Buffett Scholarship

      • 2 students were awarded Regents Scholarships

      • 1 student who participated in our district’s healthcare pathway was accepted into the Kearney Health Opportunity Program, which includes admission into UNMC and a tuition scholarship.

      • 2 students were awarded a $10,000 Dorothy Vorderstrasse Huge Scholarship which honors the achievements of scholars attending schools in Thayer, Nuckolls, Franklin, and Webster counties.

      • 2 students were accepted into sponsorship programs that included covering costs such as tuition, tools, books and offering internships and a job upon completion of the program.

      • 1 student who participated in our district’s Advanced Manufacturing Pathway was awarded a scholarship to complete this program.

    • How did the ACT go for our juniors in the Spring of 2018? 

      • 2 received a 30+

      • 6 scored in the 25-29 point range

      • 8 scored in the 23-24 point range
