A 16-year-old Kansas boy will soon earn his high school diploma - and a few days later he'll travel to Harvard to collect his bachelor's degree.
Ulysses High School senior Braxton Moral will attend both commencement ceremonies in May, becoming the only student to successfully pursue a four-year high school degree and a bachelor's degree from Harvard at the same time, The Hutchinson News reported .

I did this AND got a masters at the same time.
They bent the rules for me.
I did this and invented a new branch of science.
HS “degrees” must be fairly lax these days, not to mention the first several years of college, esp. the “required” humanities ...
ROFL!!
You probably stole it from one of my theses!!
I know a kid who gets all A and Bs yet doesn’t know he’s left his city when he crosses a major bridge nor is he sure whether many states are countries and vice versa when asked.
Pinging Metmom!
What a great story. This kid from Kansas managed to get a prestigious degree from Harvard without being immersed in their hate America culture for four years.
The student.
You all are a bunch of curmudgeons! Praise a child for having the fortitude to take up both degrees simultaneously and achieve both. He was cited as being gifted early on in his life. This glass should be seen half full and the kid should get kudos not backhanded remarks
Certainly looks like the ‘Andy Hardy’ average American kid as we used to see it.
This kid seems a lot smarter than that obnoxious kid from the Parkland shooting they just admitted (Boggs....Hoggs, I forget the name).
It’s called joking around.
You see, it’s SO INCREDIBLE, that we joke about it in an absurd way.
Your head must be really made of a jar :)
Sometimes yes lol
I’m guessing he’ll get thrown in prison for some reason or another in his lifetime and get raped by Aryan nation members.
And just about every other group because he will be hated so much.
re: “You all are a bunch of curmudgeons! “
I know, isn’t it terrible!!??
re: “He was cited as being gifted early on in his life.”
Gifted - GIFTED?
That has other connotations today, like, autistic ...
Haha!!
“Curmudgeonry” comes when you reach our age...8>)
