16-Year-Old Florida Student Graduates From College…Before High School

Wow! Go On Girl!
A  16-year-old Florida whiz kid graduated from high school and college in the same week — completing college first.

“It’s kind of weird that I graduated college before high school,” Grace Bush told CBS in Miami.

Grace, who lives in Hollywood, Fla., received her degree from Florida Atlantic University on Friday with a sparkling 3.8 grade-point average. She will receive her "other" diploma on Friday from Florida Atlantic University high school.

The teen was participating in FAU's special dual-enrollment program, which gives more talented students college credit for selected high school courses.

“I started when I was 13 at Broward College, and I also took my classes throughout the summer, so I was able to finish it before four years,” she told CBS.

Grace is just following a family tradition. She is the third oldest of nine children, and her parents would like all their kids to do what Grace did to save tuition. The kids are home schooled as well.
