George Washington High School senior Hannah McGehee earned a perfect score on the ACT college entrance exam -- one of eight Colorado students who achieved a 36 this year. Her accomplishment was recognized at a special luncheon hosted by the Colorado Department of Education.

Hannah is also a National Merit Scholar Semi-finalist (scoring above the 99th percentile on the PSAT test as a junior). She is in her final year of the International Baccalaureate Program at GWHS in Denver.

The GWHS IB program was the first founded in Colorado (1985) and attracts top students from the Denver Public Schools and from the surrounding suburbs. With 425 current students active in sports, music, drama, yearbook, newspaper and more, the International Baccalaureate students are very important to GW.

Since its first senior class, one-hundred percent of George Washington IB’s graduates have been accepted to college or university. Recent George Washington IB alumni are attending Boston College, Boston U, Carleton, Colorado College, Colorado School of Mines, Georgetown, George Washington, Macalester, MIT, Northwestern, NYU, Occidental, Penn, Pomona, Smith, Tufts, the US Air Force Academy, Vanderbilt, Vassar, Wellesley, Williams, and Yale.
