    Teacher Message:
     
    I prepare students for the ACT, a national standardized college entrance test that many colleges use to help determine acceptance and scholarships. Missouri Secondary Education also utilizes student ACT scores and requires all graduates to take the ACT.
     
    I get excited about helping students grow as learners and individuals.  When a student learns something new and it sticks, he or she is gratified, and so am I :).
