Blue Springs South Senior Anna Kochman is not only a national merit semi-finalist but received word this week of her perfect 36 score on the ACT.

Both Kochman and Clark are the only two seniors in all of South’s history to obtain a perfect ACT score.

    The College and Career Readiness class is an opportunity for Freshman Center students to learn firsthand about job opportunities directly from the workforce. Students learn about educational requirements, specific job duties, as well as on the job experiences from learning how to code software to occupational therapy. Students gain important knowledge that will be useful in making their future educational decisions. The goal of this class is to help guide the way for our students whether they are bound for college, trade school or preparing to enter the workforce. There are 16 speakers scheduled for the semester. Philanthropist Carol Journagan spoke this week about her father’s career with AMC Theaters.
