DeKalb County High School recognizes students for success on the ACT test.
The goal is for students to score 21 or higher on the ACT as this qualifies them for the HOPE Lottery Scholarship and is one of the criteria qualifying them for Top Rank. The current ACT average at DCHS is 19.1.
A free ACT is offered to all Juniors each Spring and all Seniors in the fall during the school day. This year’s seniors will have an ACT retake day on November 1 and current juniors will take the ACT on March 13. Students must take the ACT or SAT test in order to be eligible for graduation.
DCHS offers ACT prep courses and an online program called “On To College” to help students prepare for this test. At DCHS, 3 clubs are recognized for student success: a 21+ club, a 24+ Club, and a 29+ Club. Students who have passed AP (Advanced Placement) Exams are also recognized.
DCHS is very proud of each of these students and wishes to recognize their hard work.
