ACT Prep with Kelly Walden

Announcement from Kelly Walden: We have launched a new Instagram page to deliver ACT Prep info to our students and parents. This account is entirely dedicated to information on test dates, Workshop dates, changes to the ACT, test prep tips, and subject content information. We will have both graphic announcements and reels (videos) of a minute or less with salient information primarily aimed at the parents. Our goal in creating this Instagram account is to answer the many frequently asked questions we get.

PSAT is coming - get signed up!

The PSAT exam will be given on Wednesday, October 23 from 8:00 - 10:30 am at Marshall County High School.  The PSAT is only given one time a year.  As juniors, students take it to practice for the SAT, to enter the competition for scholarships from the National Merit Scholarship Corporation, or for merit-based scholarships offered by their parent's employer (if applicable).  Students take the PSAT as 10th graders to practice and can also qualify for national recognition programs.

The cost of the PSAT is $15 and is available to current students at MCHS.  This year, the PSAT will be online, so students must be prepared to bring their school-issued chromebooks.

Students may register with Mrs. Jackson before school, during class changes, at lunch, and after school.  Sign-ups will begin on Monday, September 16 with the deadline for registering set for Friday, September 20 at 3:15 pm.  Payment can be in the form of cash or check and must be made at the time of registration.  (Checks are to be made payable to MCHS.)

What is the National Merit Scholarship Corporation?  This scholarship competition awards approximately 8,200 scholarships annually. The selection process starts with the choosing of National Merit Scholarship Semi-Finalists and Commended Scholars. Cutoffs vary from state to state but typically Semi-Finalists score in the top one percent of students in their state and Commended Scholars between the top one to four percent.  Most of the approximately 16,000 Semi-Finalists become Finalists, and half of those ultimately receive National Merit Scholarships.
