ACT TEST RESULTS
Forty-three seniors took the American College Testing
Program on Saturday, Nov. 19, at KHS and their profiles
have arrived. Each student will have an interview and
explanation of his profile which includes his scores, his
educational or vocational plans, an interest inventory and
information about the college to which he reported his
scores.
The profile is a valuable counseling tool for me and the
student. In most cases, the profile includes a prediction of
how he will look compared with other freshmen at the
college of his choice.
College entrance examinations are about over for this
year’s class. To date, 50 seniors have completed testing.
Approximately 10 more will take the Feb. 11 or April 1
examinations.

College. This is a $4000.00 scholarship over the four year
undergraduate period. Kevin is under consideration for a full
tuition scholarship at Austin College and if he is awarded
this, it will replace the current one. He is entering as a
pre-medical student.
