Please see the following message from Brian Tracey, Executive Director of the Bluefield Arts and Revitalization Corporation.
We will be showing "In The Heights" on Saturday March 26 and Thursday March 31. I'd like to offer this film - both showings - free to all Mercer County students. In particular, given the content of the film, I'd like to communicate the free availability of this film to all students taking Spanish in the school system. The film is also highly relevant to art students and those with an interest in theater.

Superscoring
Applicants may use a superscore to achieve the minimum test score requirement on either format. Superscoring allows students to take their top score from subsections of various ACT or SAT exam dates and combine them for a higher overall score. Superscores will automatically be calculated based on the individual test scores received by our office.
