ACT Registration Deadline
   
We strongly encourage all current juniors to take the ACT prior to December of each year. By taking the ACT in December of the junior year, it gives time to work on the progress suggestions that come with the ACT results to increase the students knowledge and performance to the next level. 
  
You can register now through November 4 for the December 12th ACT test.  All national test dates for the ACT are given right here at Cooper HS.   
   
Any student that has a free/reduced lunch status can take the ACT for free twice not including the state provided ACT test for all juniors in March.  Any student with a free/reduced lunch status should stop by the guidance office to pick up a form to receive two free ACT tests.

 
Honor Roll 
 
Our amazing PTSO is providing a treat during all lunch periods for our amazing students who made the A and A/B honor roll on Friday, November 4th. 

Look for the PTSO table that will be setup in the commons/cafeteria.
