Local Student First in District’s History to Earn Degree Before High School Graduation

CINCINNATI, Ohio-Joshua Johnson, a student at Reading Community Schools, has made history by becoming the first in the district to earn a degree before graduating high school. At just 15 years old, he completed an Associate of Arts degree in Liberal Arts and Sciences from Sinclair Community College.

Johnson began his college journey in seventh grade, taking courses through Cincinnati State Technical and Community College. By the end of eighth grade, he had completed seven college courses, accumulating 22 credits. He transitioned to full-time enrollment at Sinclair during his second year of high school, fulfilling all high school graduation requirements. Johnson plans to earn another associate degree by the end of his senior year next week.
