ACT Testing Services
Coweta High School has been approved as an ACT testing site. Student from Coweta and the surrounding areas may register online at www.actstudent.org to take the ACT in Coweta.
Time is of the essence. In order for colleges to receive your ACT scores before the semester ends, you must take the test ASAP. Those of you planning to enter college or a trade school will be expected to take the ACT. We recommend that you take one of these tests this fall if you plan to enter college next summer or next fall. We encourage you to take the test early.
Instructions about registration and other information is available in the counseling office. A digital photo submission is part of the application process. There is an “ACT Photo” App available that makes this a simple submission.
Again, you can register on line to take the test at the link listed below. Use School Code 370920 to register to take the test in Coweta.
