DeSoto Parish Schools is helping students take the fear out of test day with a free ACT Boot Camp designed to boost confidence and performance ahead of upcoming exam dates.

The event will take place on Saturday, November 15, 2025, at 399 Jenkins Street in Mansfield. Students will have the opportunity to strengthen their skills in all ACT subject areas through two focused sessions:

8 a.m. – 11 a.m.: Math & Science

12 p.m. – 3 p.m.: English & Reading

The ACT Boot Camp is open free of charge to all DeSoto Parish students, who must bring their school-issued student ID badge to attend. A pizza lunch will be provided for those staying for both sessions.

District officials encourage students to take advantage of this opportunity to prepare for one of the most important college readiness exams. “ACT test prep doesn’t have to be scary,” the district said in a statement. “We want to give our students every advantage to reach their goals and succeed beyond high school.”

Students can register online using this link or by scanning the QR code featured on the event flier.
