Harmond Drenth and Trenton Smith, members of the Clarendon High School Class of 2020, received their Associate’s in Science degrees from Clarendon College on May 8, meaning these gentlemen graduated from college before high school.
The majority of their college work was completed for free thanks to the Dual Credit Peak Scholarship, which is an agreement between Clarendon College and Clarendon CISD.
Harmond and Trenton made history by being the first CHS students to complete their high school and associate requirements at the same time.
Harmond and Trenton began this college course work while on CISD campus back in the Fall of 2018. Harmond completed 62 hours at CC and plans on attending Baylor University in the fall with a major in Computer Science.
Harmond said his degree at Clarendon College will allow him to directly go to upper level course work when he arrives in Waco in August.
“My most challenge course in college so far has to be Interpersonal Communication,” Harm said.
Trenton worked hard during the school year and summer terms to graduate from Clarendon College with a total of 77 hours. Trent plans to attend WTAMU and obtain his degree in Business Management.
“By completing my associates degree, I feel a sense of being stress free heading into WTAMU,” Trenton stated.
Like Harmond, Trenton found a certain college class, Elementary Statistics, to be hard.
