Tonkawa will give ACT test
Tonkawa Public Schools will be giving the ACT test in the spring of 2020 to eligible juniors as part of the state contract with the Oklahoma State Department of Education and ACT. Last year over 95% of Oklahoma schools selected to administer the 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. There are many reasons that Tonkawa has chosen the ACT but most importantly the ACT is accepted at all US colleges. If you have any questions or comments please contact Monica Grein, District Test Coordinator, by November 1st,
