I skimmed it, but it looks good didn't see any glaring errors. I'd get rid of the ACT score (leave the math score though) and don't think you need an activities section under education either since you have a whole category dedicated to that
Ok, I removed activities for college, but what about my activities section under High School since they aren't addressed later? I created a new version, give it another skim please?

I disagree with the other post. Keep the ACT and add SAT if it is high. If you are casting a wide net a good portion of firms will ask for these scores anyway.
Add a new bolded line for the community college work if you want to draw attention to it, the second level bullet looks out of place.
I found email and phone number distracting where they are.
"putting reassurance in new clients" doesn't make any sense because you don't "put" a feeling in ordinary speech. Try "reassuring client concerns during..." or some similar BS that allows you to change the wording.
"company standard gracious service" sounds really strange. That is the kind of thing I want to hear from a call girl not a resume. I'd redo that specific sentence to be more like: "Served 100's of customers with knowledgable sales support and..."
Either get rid of any clubs under "Leadership and Activities" that overlap with "Education" or add an entry to "Leadership and Activities" for every club and then drop the "Activities" entry from "Education". Right now you are being inconsistent, make sure the section titles correspond to the content. "Activities" isn't even in the "Leadership and Activities" section.
Alright, I did all that. I wasn't sure to leave "Activities" for high school in the "Education" section though... just left it there for now. How does this look?

Both of them still work on my end. did you remove the parentheses?
