GA Teen Graduates College, High School A Month Apart: Report

SAVANNAH, GA — A Georgia high school student is making headlines after earning an associate's degree from Savannah State University weeks before her high school diploma, per a media report.

NeeAli Scott, 17, graduated from Savannah State about a month before her May 20 commencement from the Savannah Arts Academy.

She was a dual-enrolled student before moving on to earn an associate's degree in science, WJCL reported. Scott told the media outlet she was able to attend school with 30 free credits.

"Don’t really know how I did it but hey I just graduated high school and college with honors," Scott wrote last week in an Instagram post alongside photos of herself in a cap and gown.

A recent Instagram post from Scott Realty Professionals said Scott graduated Summa Cum Laude from Savannah State.

Scott Realty Professionals wrote in an earlier Instagram post:

"Today my baby did her BIG one!! She's OFFICIALLY a Savannah State University Graduate at 17 years old. She just graduated from College before graduating from High School. I didn't let all the odds that was stacked against my 2lb micro-preemie affect how I knew my GOD would work in her life. GOD DID just that and today NeeAli graduated from SSU with her Associate Of Science Degree! 🙌🏽 Congratulations NeeAli Scott for being an amazing kid!! We ❤️ you! Big thanks to my entire village and everyone that celebrated this milestone with her."

News of Scott's accomplishment traveled all the way to New York. The Breakfast Club's Jess Hilarious called the achievement "super dope" and said it highlights awareness that high school students can take college classes at no cost to them.

Scott plans to become a cardiothoracic surgeon and work in an inner-city hospital, WJCL reported.
