Cole Barrett Inducted Into "700 Club"

Mrs. Rebecca Stanfield, Principal of Towanda Junior/Senior High School, has announced that Cole Barrett has been named to the district’s “700 Club”. This club is designed to recognize students who score a 700 or more (out of 800) on at least one section of a College Board SAT test. This is a feat that only about five percent of the nation’s students attain. The average score on the SAT is about 500 per section (reading, math, and writing). Cole scored above 700 in the Reading/Writing section.
