College Planning

The ACT is required by many colleges and universities for admissions. We encourage all students to take the ACT assessment for admissions to college and many scholarships that are available. Green Canyon High School is not a testing site for the National Test dates. All Juniors are required to take the ACT during the State ACT administration days, which is free to all Juniors. There is a cost all other times the ACT is taken by students.

Along with taking the ACT test for college or university admissions, many scholarships require ACT scores and the students will gain valuable information about Solutions for K12 Education and College and Career Preparation.
