East Knox High School will launch its after-school tutoring program for students in grades 7 through 12 on Tuesday, Oct. 14, with sessions held Tuesday through Thursday from 2:30 to 3:30 p.m. in the Media Center. In addition, the school will offer ACT preparation courses on Sundays from 1 to 4 p.m., beginning Oct. 26, at the High School campus.
The tutoring sessions aim to provide extra academic assistance for students who need help with homework, classwork, or challenging subjects.
"We encourage students to take advantage of this helpful resource to strengthen their academic skills and gain extra support outside of the classroom," the school highlighted in its October newsletter.
Bus transportation will be available on Wednesdays for students who sign up at the office, while parents are responsible for pickup on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
As part of the school's commitment to gearing up students for lifelong excellence, the ACT preparation courses are designed to help students get ready for one of the most critical standardized tests in the college admissions process. Each Sunday, sessions will focus on a specific subject: English on Oct. 26, Math on Nov. 2, Science on Nov. 9, and a full practice test on Nov. 16.
East Knox underscores the importance of achieving high ACT scores, noting their potential to enhance college admission prospects and increase access to scholarship opportunities. The school urges students to make full use of this complimentary academic preparation program.
"Strong ACT scores can open the door to valuable scholarship opportunities, giving students greater access to financial support for college. We encourage all students, especially juniors, to take advantage of this free resource," the school stated.
Juniors at East Knox High School are scheduled to take the official ACT in February 2026. School officials affirm that the preparatory sessions are designed to equip students with the skills and confidence needed to approach the exam with readiness and assurance.
