Mrs. Witsman’s Illustrator class had a digital gingerbread house competition. The staff voted on the best design, and these three young ladies won gift cards to Scooter’s from Mrs. Witsman!
Mrs. Witsman’s Photoshop class also completed an Oreo Project. The class started the week with a taste test of different Oreo flavors and then designed their new flavor packages and social media post. These were voted as the favorites by their classmates!
All Sophomores and Seniors will be asked to participate in a voluntary survey called the Illinois Youth Survey (IYS). The purpose of this survey is to better understand Illinois youth risk and protective behaviors as they relate to students and their success. Participation will involve completing a survey (with no name or identification numbers) that will be confidential. The survey will be conducted the first week we are back from Holiday Break. If you do not want your child to participate, please complete the form attached and return to the school office.
Local Student Achieves Top ACT Score
Mt. Carmel High School Senior Rhett Andrews, the son of Ryan and Laurie Andrews, has earned the highest possible ACT Composite score of 36 on the ACT test. He has also received the Letter of Commendation from the National Merit Scholarship Program.
Rhett is the President of the National Honor Society, Secretary of Student Council, and a leader in Fellowship of Christian Athletes. Rhett is also a three sport athlete playing varsity football, basketball, and track.
About one-quarter of 1% of students who take the ACT earn a top score. In the U.S. high school graduating class of 2024, only 3,041 out of 1.37 million students who took the ACT earned a top composite score of 36.
The ACT test consists of section tests in English, mathematics, reading, and science, each scored on a scale of 1–36. A student’s Composite score is the average of the four section test scores. The score for ACT’s optional writing test is reported separately and is not included in the ACT Composite score.
The ACT test is a curriculum-based achievement exam that measures what students should have had the opportunity to learn in school. Students who earn a top Composite score have likely mastered all the skills and knowledge they will need to succeed in first-year college courses in the core subject areas.
ACT test scores are accepted by major four-year colleges and universities across the U.S., and they are one of the many criteria that inform admissions, scholarship award, and course placement decisions.
Congratulations, Rhett, on this outstanding achievement!
