Louisiana Student Achievement Award
Cubgratulations! These Mount Carmel Academy sophomores received the Louisiana Student Achievement Award from the Louisiana ACT Council for their performance on the PLAN (Pre-ACT) Assessment. As such, these students are on target to meet or exceed ACT's College Readiness Benchmarks by graduation. The ACT College Readiness Benchmarks are empirically-based and identify the level of achievement necessary in English, mathematics, reading and science to have a successful college freshman experience. We also want to recognize that student PLAN (Pre-ACT) achievement is the result of a strong commitment by Mount Carmel teachers, staff, administrators and parents to increase college readiness for all students.
