Anderson High School recently received the “2010 College Readiness Award” from the Texas ACT Council for increasing the number of students taking the ACT Assessment, and significantly increasing their level of achievement and college readiness.
Karen L. Pennell, Assistant Vice President and ACT Southwest Regional Manager, said ”The Texas ACT Council wanted to recognize those Texas high schools that have made significant strides in increasing the college readiness of their graduates as demonstrated by their ACT score increases. This can only happen as a result of the high school’s faculty and staff efforts and the dedication of Anderson students and parents to focus on college readiness and raise the level of college readiness for all students. Less than six percent of all high schools in Texas were honored for this superior level of accomplishment.”
“I am so proud of our students, our parents and our faculty for all their hard work and dedication to student achievement at Anderson,” said Anderson Principal Donna Houser. “As with most of our accomplishments here at Anderson, this is the result of many people working together for the benefit of our students. ”
