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 .

Govt and English major. meh. With what I’ve seen of modern colleges offering these degrees I am not impressed
If his degree was in engineering or math I would be ecstatic. Govt. and English ain’t that tough....particularly these days.
Shocked it wasn’t some kid of Indian or Chinese decent. Their Parents push the hell out of their kids.
Govt. and English according to article
That’s all very well, but at least two of his fellow students are obviously superheroes.
I was the one who approved it......now I'm a recovering meth addict.
Nonsense.my daughter collected 30 College credits while competing high school Certain credits count for both HS and college.
The high school credits fulfill one requirement and the college credits fill another requirement.
Many many homeschoolers do this.
Not to worry. I don’t think the law school has ever accepted anyone from the extension school. Now the Kennedy School is different. They will take anybody as long as they are super liberal.
re: “Nonsense.my daughter collected 30 College credits while competing high school Certain credits count for both HS and college”
Proof that it’s “Just that easy”.
QED
I rest my case.
re: “Govt. and English according to article”
Is that STEM, No, that’s not STEM is it ...
STEM guys call those “the soft sciences”.
No the soft sciences are psychology and sociology
It’s Harvard. Who the hell can’t pass Harvard?? Heck 23% of thee graduates did worse on the entrance exam than when they entered.
What is purpose of high school degree when you already have a college degree?

Another article said that because he didn’t have a high school degree, he wasn’t eligible for federal aid for his tuition. His parents had to take out loans. Perhaps he wants to apply for aid when he goes to graduate school.
I home schooled myself and graduated a Rhodes Scholar at the same time yet chose to be a firefighter because I love flashing lights and loud horns.
I did read your paper. However, once I read it, I realized why it remained a thesis. :)
frankly I see most of high school as a waste of time. I went to a very well known University known for STEM to finish high school at age 16. Back in the early 70s.
High school is a construct of the NEA. Most kids need not be in it.
Funny that I originally applied to the local high school night program to finish my diploma, but was rejected because one had to be over 21. Then the counselor closed the door and explained that if the night school program took high school aged students, the high school would close as the young men and women would opt to go to night school and work during the day. So I was sent to the university.
The adolescents who can manage college, can manage it in high school. There is no magic age that makes someone who takes a subject in high school over two semesters, unable to take the same subject in college in one semester.
Back at the turn of the 20th century intellectually adept adolescents took daunting courses in Greek, Latin, philosophy as a matter of course.
We live in stupid times.
ROFLMAO!
Now he goes to the School of Rot and becomes a America hating elite.
