Assessment is the college admissions test that is used and accepted by all
colleges nationwide and throughout Oklahoma. In 2011, over 76% of Oklahoma
students took the ACT which is the predominant college admissions and readiness
achievement in test in Oklahoma.
According to Karen L. Pennell, Assistant Vice President and ACT
Southwest Regional Manager, “We wanted to recognize those Oklahoma high schools
that have made significant strides in increasing the college readiness of their
graduates as demonstrated by their ACT score increases over the past five
years. This can only happen as a result of the high school’s faculty and staff
efforts and the dedication of Harding Charter Preparatory High School students
and parents to focus on college readiness and raise the level of college
readiness for all students.
