Dennis Du, a senior at Grand Forks Central High School, earned a perfect score of 36 on the ACT college entrance exam, Grand Forks Public Schools has announced.
The ACT assesses students in English, mathematics, science and reading. The scores in each area are compiled into a composite score, which has a range of 1 to 36. Du scored a 36 on each of the four sections in addition to a composite score of 36.
Du, who completed the ACT exam in December, attributes his perfect score to “a combination of good schools and teachers, a love of learning and reasoning, and a bit of luck,” he said. “It helps that I’ve enjoyed the learning because that makes it a lot easier.”
He is serving as president of Grand Forks Central’s Student Council and vice president of the North Dakota Association of Student Councils, and is a member of the Grand Forks Youth Commission.
Du also is involved in STEM activities in the community, working with the public library as a FIRST Lego League robotics coach where he helps children learn to design and program a Lego robot and use it to participate in a competition.
“Dennis is one of Central’s finest,” said Aaron LaDeaux, activities director and student council adviser at GFC. “He is always willing to make time to assist other students and staff members at school. The balance he has been able to find between school, athletics, music and social life is what makes Dennis truly amazing. He is extremely selfless in his actions and truly a pleasure to work with at GFC.”
When he heads off to college next year, Du plans to major in computer science, applied mathematics or engineering.
Du is the third Grand Forks student in three years to earn a perfect ACT score. Last year, Aidan Krogh received a perfect score and, in the previous year, Millicent Schwartz did. Both were students at Red River High School.
