CCHS Senior Elizabeth Lanier Scores Perfect 36 on The ACT Test

Calloway County High School senior Elizabeth Lanier has scored a perfect 36 composite score on The ACT Test. The ACT Test is a nationwide college entrance test given to college-bound high school students. One quarter of one percent of test takers achieve this incredible score on The ACT Test.

Lanier is enrolled in The Gatton Academy of Mathematics and Science at Western Kentucky University. At WKU, Lanier has completed her junior and senior years of high school in an on-campus two-year course of study. Upon graduation from CCHS in May, she will have earned 60 college credit hours.

“Calloway County Schools has given me so many opportunities to do what I love, while also fostering a passion for learning,” said Lanier. “Every teacher that I had pushed me to be the best I can be, while also encouraging me to be a good and kind member of our community, and I am so blessed to be a Laker.”

Lanier was named a National Merit Scholarship Semifinalist as a senior. 

Lanier is still an active member of clubs and teams at CCHS. As a CCHS student, Lanier has earned numerous awards as a member of the Speech Team, Academic Team, Future Farmers of America, and Future Business Leaders of America. 

In the summer of 2024, Lanier spent nearly two months in Kazakhstan as a part of a language immersion scholarship from the U.S. Department of State. She spent her time there learning to speak Russian.

Upon graduation from CCHS and The Gatton Academy in May, Lanier is undecided on her choice of university, but plans to study International Relations and the Russian language.

Elizabeth is the daughter of Alan and Catherine Lanier.
