Congratulations to John and Connie McMahon and their family, especially senior Claire McMahon, who made the news this week with the remarkable achievement of having three children with perfect ACT scores. It's a great story and Claire and Connie were interviewed this week by local media.
Both do shout-outs to the teachers and CDH for the wonderful education that supported their excellent scores on the ACT. Congratulations!
