Our role is to be the contact for students and parents/guardians for all matters with the academics, career planning, and social/emotional concerns a student might have during their high school (10–12) years. The direct phone line is (515) 981-1833 and the fax is (515) 981-1868. The Student Advocates Office assigns students by their last name. We look forward to working with all of our students and their parents/guardians!

ACT, SAT, ALEX & AP
ACT
The NHS Advocates Office recommends students start taking the ACT during their junior year. Depending on your math level, some students should start testing in October and December – all other juniors should take the test in February and April. There are SIX testing times throughout the year. The other two are September and June.
NHS School code is 163245 if you want to Test at Norwalk our site code is 197870. If you have an IEP or 504 you need to see your Advocate, before your register, about possible accommodations. If you are on free or reduce lunches, see the Advocates Office for possible fee reductions through the ACT.
SAT
If you are interested in the SAT see your Advocate for more information or go to the below link. NHS School code is 163245 – we are not a test site for the SAT.
DMACC ALEKS
The Below link is for the DMACC ALEKS Test. If you are planning to take a math course at DMACC, you will have to complete the ALEKS Test for placement purposes.
AP
There are a lot of questions about AP scores. What does my AP score mean? Will my college/university take my score? How much is the test? Am I an AP Scholar? Where do I find my scores?
The Deans Office can’t begin to know what every college/university takes, doesn’t take, and the multitude of other variables. We suggest you contact you college/university of choice or google the site and investigate your options. We have included the links for ISU, IOWA, UNI and DMACC.

Academic Pin and Bars
At the start of each school year students in grades 9–12 who have earned a 3.500 grade point average BOTH semesters the year prior will be invited to the Fall academic ceremony. The ceremony is hosted by the National Honor Society and the Student Advocates Office. The first year a student receives the 3.500 for both semesters an academic pin is presented. Each year after the student will receive a bar. Grade point averages will not be rounded up. The ceremony is usually the last Wednesday in August.
Honor Roll
At the end of each semester any student with a 3.250 or higher grade point average will be on the honor roll for the semester. Grade point averages will not be rounded up.
National Honor Society
During the 2nd semester of a student’s junior year anyone in the top 10% of the class will be invited to apply for induction into the NHS National Honor Society. Currently Mr. Kurtt is the sponsor and any questions should be directed to him at ckurtt@norwalk.k12.ia.us. If a grade point average is used for final selection the average will not be rounded up.
Senior Honors Night
Each year on the Thursday before graduation the NHS Senior Honors Night is conducted. The event starts at 7:00 pm and is in the NPAC. Seniors will be recognized with scholarships, honors, and department awards. A messenger will be sent out at least a week prior to notify parents/guardians of the honor.
