Early College Senior Finishes Associate Degree, High School Together
Samantha Myrick has two reasons to celebrate this spring – she’s graduating from Calhoun County High School and receiving an Associate of Arts degree from Orangeburg-Calhoun Technical College.
“I never thought I’d have this many college credits in high school,” she said. “I started taking Early College classes my sophomore year. It’s definitely a worthwhile experience. I learned how to manage my time and how to prioritize.”
Samantha’s next stop is Clemson University, where she plans to major in biology. Her ultimate career goal is to become an orthopedic surgeon.
“My instructors have been down to earth and really easy to talk to,” she said. “If you have a problem, they’re more than willing to help you. They taught me accountability and responsibility.”
Mom Jackie Myrick said she is extremely proud of her daughter.
“Samantha has accomplished things I never thought she would have accomplished,” she said. “She now knows what it takes to be a college student and what it takes to succeed.”
Congratulations to Our CCHS Teacher and Staff of the Year!
