Education

 Marion County High School sophomore Samuel Thompson has one less thing to worry about during the remainder of his high school career: improving his ACT score.

The tenth-grader recently discovered he made a perfect score of 36 on the test. 

“I was excited. I opened it up and I was just like, ‘Wow.’ My parents were excited, too,” Thompson said.

On average, less than one-tenth of one percent of test takers score a 36.

The Debbie Gardner Memorial Scholarship is available to graduating high school seniors.
This scholarship can be used to assist with tuition while attending a four-year college, a two-year college, or a technical school.
Anyone applying for this scholarship must first meet the federal low-income guidelines. Preference will be given to graduating seniors going into the fields of social services, business, agriculture, or education.  Students’ grade point average will also be taken into consideration.
