ACT
We recommend students take the ACT the summer following their sophomore year. This allows students the opportunity to improve their scores before their senior year. In order for students to qualify for the Dane G. Hansen Scholarship Test, they must have a 3.5 or higher GPA and an ACT composite score of at least 23. This test is given in September of the student's senior year. All juniors will be given the opportunity to take the exam in the spring free of charge at Trego Community High School. Please see below for the date and time.
