ADRIAN Michael Loveday remembers feeling lost and bored in school.
Loveday felt like he wasn t being prepared for college. He wanted something more, something more challenging. I didn t feel like I was being properly engaged, he said.
Of all people, it was a doctor who turned Loveday onto the middle college program at Jackson College and the Lenawee Intermediate School District Tech Center. It s such an interesting concept, Loveday said. I hadn t heard of it.
Loveday applied and was accepted into the JC/LISD Academy.
The academy offers high school students the ability to obtain a high school diploma and an associate degree in five years. It s an opportunity for high school students to save money on college the academy is free and get a taste of higher ed all before they graduate.
