Marathon High School sophomore Caden Pitcher has achieved a remarkable academic milestone by earning a perfect score of 800 on the math section of the SAT. In addition, Pitcher scored 720 on the reading and writing section, bringing his combined total to 1520 — a score rarely achieved by students of any grade level, let alone a sophomore.
Pitcher’s achievement reflects not only his natural academic talent, but also his dedication to learning and strong work ethic, the school said in a press release.
Sean McDonald, Marathon High School’s college and career advisor, praised Pitcher’s accomplishment.
“Caden Pitcher is one of the most focused and driven students I’ve worked with,” he said. “He sets ambitious goals and then puts in the effort to achieve them. A perfect 800 in SAT math as a sophomore is incredible — but if you know Caden, you know he’s just getting started.”
“Caden represents the best of what we strive for at Marathon High — academic excellence, humility and leadership,” added Christine Paul, MHS principal. “His success is a source of pride for our entire school community.”
Pitcher is taking advanced math and science classes, and is preparing for future academic opportunities. His perfect score opens doors for elite college admissions, scholarships and national recognition.
