Tullahoma Student to Graduate from College before High School

The first Saturday in May, Motlow State Community College dual enrollment student Alexis Dietz will accomplish something no other Tullahoma High School (THS) student in history has ever accomplished. She will be the first THS student to earn her Motlow State associate degree BEFORE she receives her high school diploma.
Dietz knew that dual graduation was a goal for herself after seeing Motlow’s president hand out diplomas to area high school students at a previous Motlow graduation ceremony. Students from a number of area high schools, including Moore County, Smyrna, Coffee County and Lincoln County have earned dual enrollment degrees in the past.
She participated in Motlow’s dual enrollment program that allows high school students to earn college credits while still enrolled in high school. Students that qualify can take classes on a Motlow State campus, online, or even at a partner high school. Motlow’s dual enrollment program currently has over 600 high school students that participate.
