SHS Debate Team |
|
|
|
This Saturday, Schaumburg High School hosted the Illinois Congressional Debate Association (ICDA) Tournament of Champions Qualifying Tournament. Other than the IHSA State Debate Tournament, this competition is the most rigorous and most prestigious within the State of Illinois. We hosted over 20 schools with over 400 competitors total. Last year, Schaumburg won 1st Place as a Team (normally, we win first place as individuals, but we captured the overall Sweepstakes award). We started this weekend's debate as defending champions.
We are now BACK-2-BACK Student Congress Champions. Schaumburg, for the second year in a row, ranks over all schools for Illinois Student Congress in the Tournament of Champions Sweepstakes. Specifically, seniors Palak Patel (Captain), Jay Mehta (President), Aru Singh (Vice-President), Parth Shah (Secretary), Rishi Arora (Foreign Affairs Committee Chair), Cathy Suresh (Economics Committee Chair), and Kali Froh (Case Chair) propelled us to victory. Argue on, Debating Saxons!

Change in ACT |
|
|
|
 Attention Juniors – Effective this year, the ACT Writing portion will NOT be offered during the PSAE testing that takes place at SHS on April 24 and April 25. Many colleges require the ACT Writing for admissions. If you are interested in a college that has this requirement, you must take the ACT Plus Writing on a national testing date. The basic fee for the ACT Plus Writing for 2011-12 is $49.50. You are unable to take just the Writing – you must take the ACT Plus Writing.
ACT TESTING DATES REGISTRATION DEADLINES
February 11 January 13
April 14 March 9
June 9 May 4
The College Writing Test Requirements Search Tool can help you determine which colleges require the Writing Test or you can contact the admissions office directly at the college. For additional information on ACT and registration go to www.actstudent.org
If you should have any questions, please contact Mrs. Napier in Student Services. |
