GRAVETTE — Seventeen Gravette High School students received the “Arkansas Student Achievement Award” from the Arkansas ACT Council for their performance on the PLAN (Pre-ACT) Assessment.
According to Karen Pennell, of the ACT Southwest Regional Office, this means “these students are on target to meet or exceed ACT’s college readiness Benchmarks by graduation.”
The Benchmarks identify the level of achievement necessary in English, mathematics, reading and science to have a successful college experience, Pennell continued.
Students receiving this recognition from the ACT Council are Chase Brody, John Bryant, Zachary Campbell, Megan Davis, Whitney DeWitt, Zachary Heald, Keysha Heaton, Carly Hendrickson, Thomas Holt, Richard Lawson, Rachael Morris, Jonathon Pollreis, Russell Sharp, Brenna Sullivan, Matthew Van Otterloo, Skyler Warren and Destaney Wishon.
Pennell said, “We recognize that student PLAN (Pre-ACT) achievement is the result of a strong commitment by Gravette High School teachers, staff, administrators and parents to increase college readiness for all students.”
