PERFECT ACT SCORE!
HS^2 student Ethan O. earned the highest possible ACT composite score of 36!
Ethan earned his 36 when he took the test as a Junior on the statewide testing day last spring. Since the state testing results were embargoed, we couldn't celebrate him until the data was released TODAY! This is a tremendous achievement, and is also incredibly rare. Only one-fourth of one percent of ACT test takers receives a perfect score.
We are so proud of Ethan and his academic exceptionalism and can't wait to see what he does next!
