ACT-SO: Attention all students the ACT-SO competition is here. What is ACT-SO? It is the Afro-Academic, Cultural, Technological and Scientific Olympics, a national NAACP program often referred to as the “Olympics of the mind”. It is designed to encourage, develop and recognize high academic and artistic talent among African American high school students. If you have talent in any one of the following areas, science, humanities, performing arts or visual arts then see Ms. Cocker for details in room C119a for more details and an application form.
