Since 1981 Michigan has had thousands of middle school students participating in the SAT and ACT testing through academic talent searches. Hats OFF honors the top 200 scoring students who are in grades 6, 7, 8 and who took the SAT or ACT during the current school year. During the program, we salute each student and encourage you and your parents to attend.

The top 200 high achieving students are invited by letter in April. Since 2001, more than 1000 parents and students have attended each year. The students are also given the opportunity to write tributes to teachers who have particularly supported and encouraged their talents.
