DeKalb County High School is working to recognize students making strides on the ACT test. As part of the TN Department of Education’s Tennessee Succeeds initiative, the state is working to increase the state average for student ACT scores to 21 by the year 2020. The ACT serves as a gateway to college and career readiness in Tennessee, determining students’ eligibility for the HOPE scholarship, requirements for postsecondary remedial or developmental coursework, and sometimes entry-level salary. At DCHS, a 21+ Club has been created for students that have met the ACT readiness benchmark. This club currently contains 71 students. A 30+ club includes 4 students that have scored a 30 or above on their ACT. “We are very proud of these students and want them to have the recognition for which they have worked,” said Jenny Norris, DCHS Assistant Principal.
Members of the 21+ Club are as follows:
Eleanor Atnip, Myranda Bailiff, Alexis Bates, Kayla Belk, Madison Bouldin, Rebekah Brandt, Meghan Brandt, Kaylee Braswell, Alec Bryan, Madison Butler, Kaitlyn Cantrell, Madison Cantrell, Kayley Caplinger, Makayla Cornett-Bain, Katlyn Cox, Tyree Cripps, Callie Cripps, Chloe Cripps, Caelin Crips, Eli Cross, Lance Davis, Miranda Davis, Karlee Dickens, Lynzi Downey, Eli England, Abby Evans, Neely Evans, Malone Fletcher, Peyton Frazier, Rachel Fuson, Breanna Gibson, Brady Gill, Willow Godowns, Griffin Goldstein, Lucas Green, Gentry Harpole, Maegan Harris, Clayton Hoyle, Steven Jennings, Karen Johnson, Sahara Lafever, Caitlyn Lawrence, Allison Maynard, Kelsie Merriman, Bradley Miller, Braya Murphy, Katherine Parsley, Kristen Parsley, Zachary Parsley, Mackenzie Partridge, Ami Patel, Rosa Payne, Seth Pedigo, Jason Perricone, Kallie Petty, Baylee Phillips, Bailey Redmon, Megan Redmon, Julianne Richardson, Hunter Robinson, Allison Rogers, Alexis Roller, Jacob Self, Rebecca Snyder, Taylor Spare, Alex Steel, Jayrah Trapp, Jordan Vallem, Emily Wallace, Michael Warren, Tori Young
