MHS Debuts 30-plus Club for Students Who Achieved Over 30 on ACT
Through the new Murray High School 30+ club, 23 MHS students were recognized for achieving a 30 or above ACT score during a special luncheon hosted by Murray State University’s Office of Recruitment. During the luncheon Tony Jarvis, MHS principal, Coy Samons, MISD superintendent, and Dr. Bob Jackson, MSU president, congratulated the students. MISD Board members were present as were other MSU representatives.
As an inaugural event the 30+, Club recognized students during the luncheon with a pin to wear on their graduation stole, a black blanket embroidered with the MHS crest, and MSU Tee-shirts. . Ann Samons, MHS school counselor, said throughout the year as student’s scores become available, they will also be recognized.
Samons said the program will be an encouragement for other students to strive for higher ACT scores. “Students with higher ACT scores benefit with increased scholarship opportunities and KEES monies, while also opening doors for more college admission possibilities.”
Murray High School provides assistance with ACT initiatives including ACT Academy, ACT Workshops, as well as the fact that MHS teachers embed ACT prep into their curriculums.
