MAPLEWOOD, Mo. — A Maplewood Richmond Heights High School junior aced her ACT exam—and made school history in the process.
Kadin Kristjansson received the exciting news Saturday in a letter from the chief executive officer of ACT.
Kadin scored a perfect 36 on the exam.

Kadin’s extraordinary achievement didn’t go unnoticed by the top official at ACT. In a letter to the MRH junior, ACT CEO Marten Roorda stated, “Your exceptional scores will provide any college or university with ample evidence of your readiness for the academic rigors that lie ahead.”
