The Louisiana ACT Council recognized 65 STM students for their performance on the PLAN (Pre-ACT) Assessment taken during their sophomore year.  The Council targets these students to meet or exceed ACT’s College Readiness Benchmarks by graduation in 2012.  These benchmarks are empirically-based and identify the level of achievement necessary in English, mathematics, reading and ascience to have a successful college freshman experience.

Karen Pennell, ACT Assistant VP and Southwest Regional Manager stated, “The Louisiana ACT Council recognizes those students who are making significant strices to prepare themselves for college by taking rigorous courses and meeting the PLAN College Readiness Benchmarks.   We also want to recognize that student PLAN achievement is the result of a strong commitment by St. Thomas More Catholic High School teachers, staff, administrators and parents to increase college readiness for all students.”
