Otherwise, you may be assigned to another test center farther away.  

Once again DO NOT USE the Defiance High School test center code 182290 for the April 14th ACT.  Please use the ACT code for Defiance Middle School - 237870.

The GMC has started a new website.  The conference gets a kickback for the use of this site. The more people that use the site the more we get.  If you could log into the site at least once a month it would help the conference and us as it is used to purchase awards and so forth for conference events.  The url for the site is www.ihigh.com/gmc thanks in advance.
