We’re in the midst of graduation season.

There will be many great stories about some of the amazing accomplishments of local students, but Sarah Potter’s story stands out.

Potter, who grew up in Nottingham, recently earned a bachelor’s degree from Neumann University—at the age of 19.

Two years ago, Potter walked across a stage at Cecil College to accept her associate degree. A month later, she graduated from Oxford Area High School. She was able to do that because of the Early College Academy. This partnership allows high school students to take courses and earn credits which count toward a high school diploma and an associate degree in conjunction with the Maryland community college.

Kudos to Oxford and Cecil College for offering this opportunity to students.

And major kudos to Potter for the hard work and discipline that it took to graduate with a college degree at such a young age. No one younger than Potter has ever earned a Neumann University degree. That’s an impressive accomplishment.
