GHS Parents and Students:

As you may know, the Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE) accepted a bid from the College Board to have the SAT replace the ACT as the college entrance exam provided to all 11th graders across the state. Students are not required to register or pay for this exam. 

All Juniors will take an official SAT exam in April.  Juniors interested in taking a practice SAT exam will have the option to take the PSAT/NMSQT in October. All freshmen and sophomores will take a practice SAT exam in April.
