ACT Prep course offered at a reduced rate for VCHS juniors!

All students in this year's Junior class will be taking the ACT in February.  A strong ACT score can help students with college admissions and scholarships, so we are hoping that all of our juniors do well on the ACT and therefore have more opportunities available to them.  Even if your student is not currently planning to attend college, they should still plan to do well on their ACT.

For this reason, Vinton County High School has partnered with Next Level Prep to offer a one day, professional ACT Prep course to our Juniors on January 22, 2020.  Students will learn how to prepare for ACT test content, as well as strategies and tips for getting their best possible score.  

The cost of the ACT Prep course is $59 per student, however, VCHS students will only pay $29 and a grant will cover the rest. This is an incredible value, and one that could pay off big for your student.

Registration forms can be obtained in the high school office.  Space is limited so Juniors are encouraged to register early.  If you have questions, please contact Mrs. Abele at 740-596-5258.
