Taking the ACT helps colleges and universities understand how prepared you are for college-level work. It also helps you stand out on college admissions, increases scholarship opportunities and could potentially increase your TOPS financial aid. Students interested in attending college, universities and trade schools have the opportunity to qualify for more money from TOPS.

Hats off to Fabia Charles, Senior Airman in the U.S. Air Force for 8 years, now guiding minds at Mansfield Elementary. We are grateful for your commitment to DeSoto and our country! #DeSotoServes #thankyouveterans
