One Goal, 710! It is posted all over the school this Spring, but what does it mean? Our admin team, with the help of a group of teachers, has set a testing goal for the kids. We are shooting to raise our aggregate scores for NSCAS English Language Arts, NSCAS Math, NSCAS Science, and Junior ACT, 710 points from the winter assessment scores. This goal makes us one team and encourages all of our students to put forth their best effort on the spring assessments that are reported to the state department of education.
