Dear Cohort 2026 DHS Student- On Tuesday, April 4th you will be taking the ACT ASPIRE State Test as required for the Cohort of 2026 by the Arizona Department of Education (ADE). You will be testing with your 1st-period teacher unless you have been told otherwise. Please make sure you arrive at 7:30 with a photo ID (required) to be ready for the start of the test at 8:00 am. Cellphones and smartwatches are not allowed in the testing rooms. Security will be collecting these items as you enter school (with your name and ID#) and they will be returned to you at the end of the testing session (school day). If this is of concern, we ask that you please not bring these items on campus as any student found in possession of these items may have their test, as well as the test of other students testing in the same room invalidated. Thank you.
