Even before officially finishing high school, six students from Acadia Parish had completed two years of college and earned associate degrees.
These graduating seniors received their diplomas from Louisiana State University Eunice on May 14, weeks before their high school commencement ceremonies later this week.
They did this through the LSUE Academy, an early college dual enrollment program at the community college in 2017. Like other districts, the Acadia Parish School Board partners with the academy to offer classes and the college experience to high school students who qualify.
"The LSUE Academy allows our students to get a feel for the college experience right here in their own backyard," Superintendent Scott Richard said.
