 Why Should I Participate in ACT-SO?
As a high school student bombarded with homework, projects, clubs, sports, and more, the last thing you want to do is add another activity to your list. On the other hand, you may be a student who isn't really involved because you just can’t seem to find an activity that interests you. Either way, ACT-SO is a program that you can’t do without.
