My schedule is as follows:

Monday - High School all day

Tuesday - High School AM, Middle School PM

Wednesday - Middle School AM, High School PM

Thursday - High School AM, Middle School PM

ACT, SAT, and Compass Test Registration and Dates:  Early registration is encouraged; talk with your counselor about when and why to take these tests.

328-1660 is the phone number for Blackhawk Technical College's Monroe Campus; call to schedule a time to take the Compass Test if you are planning on attending either BTC or MACT.  If you are going to attend MATC, make certain to request that your scores are mailed.

NCAA Clearinghouse:  All prospective division I or II athletes need to register with the NCAA Clearinghouse.  They will need a 6 semester transcript and your official ACT scores (sent from ACT). 

Financial Aid and Scholarship help:  Note that it does not cost anything to apply for financial aid; avoid scholarships that request a fee (most likely it is a scam).
