ACT's American College Application Campaign celebrates schools' commitment to postsecondary access
ACAC School of Excellence winners are selected based on their demonstrated commitment to student success and for serving as an exemplary model for their state’s college application campaign. Each year, ACAC works with designated coordinators in every state and the District of Columbia to host college application events and reach students in their schools and communities, encouraging and helping them to apply to college.
Park Center Senior High School Named 2022 School of Excellence
The American College Application Campaign (ACAC) is proud to honor Park Center Senior High School as a 2022 School of Excellence winner as part of Minnesota Goes to College events to increase the number of first-generation college students and students from low-income families pursuing a college degree or other higher education credential. Park Center Senior High School is one of 23 winners, a group of exemplary schools across the nation that are helping students pursue postsecondary success.
Special recognition goes to Sara Schreiner, Park Center's Career Resource Specialist, for her work coordinating Minnesota Goes to College events to assist students with college applications and the financial aid process.
