What test is better for me to take, ACT or SAT? It really depends upon you as a student. With the recent changes to the SAT, they are more alike than ever!
Do you have any SAT or ACT prep courses? We do not offer any here at the school, but many of our students have had success with 36 University, which was founded by an HHS math teacher. A student can also link his or her PSAT score to Khan Academy for personalized SAT prep. See instructions for that by clicking Important Student Resources to the left.

What is Dual Enrollment? This is a program in which students are dually enrolled at either GNTC or Dalton State and Heritage High School.

Please see your counselor for more information.
