Day Five - Info for MHS Parents

Do you have kids that are planning on furthering their education beyond high school at a college or university?  Here is what I learned at yesterday morning's 7am Morgan High School Community Council meeting that I'll pass on to you:

• There are colleges/universities that prefer seeing AP (Advanced Placement) classes taken and credit earned by your son/daughter over EdNet classes.  When assisting your son or daughter with scheduling classes towards post-graduation education, this may be a good thing to keep in mind.
• Taking the ACT and scoring a 23 or higher in math to gain entrance into Math 1050 is an easier avenue than taking the AccuPlacer test to gain entrance into Math 1050.  (Math 1050 is offered at MHS through Utah State University.)
• 154 out of 180 of last year's MHS seniors took the ACT.  That's 85%.  The Utah State average of last year's seniors taking the ACT is 65%.
• Before your son/daughter takes the ACT, make sure that he/she has actually taken classes at MHS that have prepared him/her for taking the ACT.

Have a great Labor Day weekend with your families.  I'm taking the weekend and holiday off so that I can do the same with my family.  Blog-in Tuesday, Sept. 6th for Day Six!
