An extremely smart young man at a high school in Grapevine, Texas, accomplished something incredible this school year.
The junior at Grapevine High School, who is identified as Piyush Mallick, made perfect scores on two major tests, 11 Alive reported Saturday.
The outlet said the young man “posted the 36 on the ACT on his first try last October and 1600 on the SAT on his second try in March, Grapevine-Colleyville ISD officials said. On his first attempt at the SAT, Mallick got a 1590, just shy of the perfect score.”
The student said his goal was reached due to the courses offered through the Grapevine-Colleyville ISD and his teachers played a significant role in the achievement.
On March 11, school officials announced Mallick and a fellow student had reached another goal.
“Congratulations to Grapevine High School senior Peyton Squires and junior Piyush Mallick for earning a spot in the UIL 5A Cross Examination Debate State Tournament to be held March 21-22 at the University of Texas at Austin,” the school district said.
