JHS Students that are in NCAA Clearinghouse for recruiting purposes: Just a reminder the NCAA will not take your ACT/College Entrance Scores from your transcript or from high school. YOu need to have ACT send directly to NCAA. In addition if you have trancripted grades from any school other than Jones High School(excluding college) you will need to reach out to that school and have them send your transcript to NCAA. They will not accept other schools transcripted grades that are on a Jones High School Transcript. ( Example: If you were at Harrah your Freshman year and then Jones Sophomore through graduation, your Jones Transcript has all four years but they will only pull the Jones courses and grades from the Jones Transcript. You will have to contact Harrah and have them send your Harrah transcript to them)

JHS Seniors: Make sure you are keeping the counseling office informed of all scholarships you have been awarded.

JHS Students: College Entrance Exams are still important for college admissions, college course placement and most importantly scholarship dollars. Just like anything else you do in life the more you do it and practice it the better you get at it. Most students prefer ACT but SAT is also an option if you prefer that exam. There is still time for you to register for the National ACT exam in April. If you want to take this exam you need to get registered by February 28. You can create account and register at link below. Once you create this account remember your login because this is where you will register for all future ACT exams and where your scores will be housed. ACT Prep can also be found on this website. I have also attached document with Steve Bowlware's contact information. HE does ACT prep before every National ACT. Another Option for ACT Prep is Chad Cargill. His website is also listed below https://www.act.org/content/act/en/products-and-services/the-act.html?authuser=0 https://www.chadcargill.com/?authuser=0 https://core-docs.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/documents/asset/uploaded_file/241/Jones_High_School/5151776/February_ACT_flyer__3_.docx
