North Platte – The North Platte Catholic Schools has announced that Samuel Dekleva, a senior, has achieved a perfect ACT score of 36. Not only has he scored well on his ACT. He has also qualified as a semifinalist for the National Merit Scholarship program.

Dekleva follows Keegan Nitsch, a 2020 St. Patrick High School graduate, to give the school back-to-back perfect ACT scores.
Superintendent Kevin Dodson of North Platte Catholic Schools values Dekleva’s accomplishments.
“The entire North Platte Catholic School community is proud of Samuel’s achievements,” Dodson said. “Samuel has been blessed with a great curiosity to learn, a confidence to pursue his interests, and a work ethic too that allows him to be successful.”
