Another incredible academic achievement to celebrate! 👏🎉

Branson High School graduate Isaac Lamoreaux, Class of 2026, has earned a perfect ACT superscore of 36 - becoming the second Branson High School student this school year to achieve this remarkable milestone!

A superscore is achieved by averaging the highest scores from each ACT test section across multiple test attempts. Following a recent ACT score update associated with statewide online spring testing, Isaac’s superscore increased from a 35 to a perfect 36.

“We are incredibly proud of Isaac and all of the hard work he has put in to achieve this goal,” said Branson High School senior counselor Dixie Bailey. “Earning a perfect ACT superscore is an exceptional accomplishment, and to have two Branson High School students achieve this milestone in one school year is truly remarkable.”

Isaac plans to attend the University of Missouri, where his perfect ACT score qualifies him for a scholarship covering full tuition and fees. Congratulations, Isaac, on this outstanding accomplishment! 🎓🐯

🎉 Big celebrations for our incredible multilingual students! 🎉

We are thrilled to honor the hard work, dedication, and cultural pride of our students who have achieved incredible milestones in their language journeys this year.

Join us in celebrating:

🎓 21 Seniors who have officially earned the prestigious Missouri Seal of Biliteracy! This is a massive achievement that validates their hard work and opens doors for their future college and career paths.

🌟 342 K-8th Grade Students who received the Pathway to Biliteracy award! They are well on their way to mastering multiple languages and becoming global citizens.

Being biliterate is a superpower. It takes years of dedication to read, write, listen, and speak across cultures, and we could not be prouder of our students, their families, and the educators who supported them along the way.
