A young African-American boy, Mario Hoove, has broken the 46-year-old record of Providence-St. Mel School in Chicago, United States after scoring a 100 percent grade in the country’s ACT examination.
The ACT examination in the United States is used to measure a high school student’s readiness for university and provide universities with one data point to compare all applicants.
It was gathered that since the establishment of Providence St. Mel School, the school has never produced a student that archives 100 per cent score until Hoover broke the record, making him the first ever to achieve such academic success.

Hoover, who had a perfect grade in all the examination’s 36 points, urged others to work towards same feat.
“I want others to know that they can do the same. I’ve been saying a lot today that we are all capable of more than we think we can do,” he said.
The Principal of the school, Timothy Ervin, described Hoover as the future of black history.
“He is the future of Black history, in the sense that he has made history here in the present and that’s going to live on forever,” Ervin stated.
