SALT LAKE CITY — Twelve Utah students were lauded for their smarts at a Utah State Board of Education meeting Friday.
The young men and women each scored a perfect 36 on the ACT, a college entrance exam. The dozen Utahns are among 588 total young people in the country to receive the perfect school last school year.
"What it says to us is you've done the work that you need to do to be exceptional," said Brenda Hales, associate state superintendent.
Those present shared their plans for the future. Some, like Cache Thompson, plan to attend BYU in the fall. Others, like Rebecca Nickerson and Andrew Johnson still have to get through the rest of high school. Nickerson still has her junior and senior years of high school left.
"These are exceptional students," Hales said. "We're here to recognize their outstanding achievement and to make sure they know how proud we are."
