We have been presented with an opportunity to
help students with ACT scores. I will
attach a flyer explaining this opportunity.
All high schools in DeSoto County are working to improve ACT scores for
all our students. ACT scores are very
important for any student planning to go to college. Please encourage your student to become
involved in working to make higher scores on their ACT test. The diagnostic
test will be given on February 2 at CHHS beginning at 8 A.M. You may register by going to our website
and clicking on the ACT Sign Up Banner. You may also pay the morning of the
