CORRECTION - Updated Standardized Testing Dates at HHS

-

We hope you are enjoying your summer - only a few short weeks until we are back to school!

Due to a scheduling error, Holliston High School will not be hosting the October 26, 2019 administration of the ACT; we will, instead, be a test site for the September 14, 2019 administration of the ACT. 

If you would like to register for the September 14, 2019 ACT test date, there are still seats available at Holliston High School. Registration closes on August 16, 2019; late registration (with an additional fee) closes on September 1st. 

If you would like to sit for the October 26, 2019 ACT test date, you may register at other local high schools. Those schools in close proximity to Holliston hosting the October ACT are Milford High School, Framingham High School, and Natick High School. 

Our spring standardized testing calendar has also been affected. We will not be hosting the ACT on June 13, 2020; instead, we will host the ACT on April 4, 2020. 

The Holliston High School testing calendar is as follows: 
  • September 14, 2019 - ACT
  • October 19, 2019 - PSAT (registration here)
  • October 26, 2019 - PreACT (registration here)
  • April 4, 2020 - ACT
  • May 2, 2020 - SAT
We apologize for any confusion. Enjoy the rest of your summer!
