ACT

Hinton Public Schools is communicating with parents of students who will be juniors during the 2021-2022 school year.

Our school district plans to administer the ACT® test in spring 2022 to eligible juniors as part of the state contract with the Oklahoma State Department of Education and ACT.

 Our district believes this is an excellent opportunity for all eligible juniors to take the ACT at no cost to them or their families. Additional information on why we chose the ACT can be found at: 8 Reasons to Choose the ACT Test  

If you have any questions or concerns please contact me at 405-542-3235 ext.1 or via email at chasidy.catlin@hintonschools.org
