Free ACT for Seniors on 10/6/2020 at WCHS
The FLDOE has provided a portion of their Florida CARES ACT plan funding to districts in order to allow all high school students, especially traditionally underserved populations, to have at least one opportunity to take the SAT or ACT in order to quality for admission to a postsecondary institution and/or to qualify for a Bright Futures scholarship.
This will permit Pasco County Schools to offer the reportable ACT to all SENIORS on Tuesday, October 6, 2020.
Students Leaving Campus for Lunch and Lunch Delivery Services
