It happens more often than one might think, but it never ceases to impress when young high school students practically earn their higher education certificates and associate degrees before their diplomas. Twenty-three (23) of these young people did just that recently during Piedmont Technical College’s Spring Commencement Exercises. T’Laysha Creswell, a student soon to graduate from McCormick High School’s Middle College, is one of those young people, and just to raise the bar a bit, she also served as a commencement speaker! Talk about poise!
At Piedmont Tech's recent spring commencement, outstanding students from each of the college's seven supporting counties were honored for academic achievement.
Piedmont Technical College students who had outstanding academic accomplishments during the 2019 Spring Semester have earned inclusion on the President’s List.

Students hoping to enroll quickly at Piedmont Technical College can head straight to the express lane at “Instant Admission Days.” At these events, counselors are on hand to help students who “feel the need for speed” get accepted on the spot and quickly complete their enrollment process for the fall 2019 semester. Students will leave Instant Admission Day already enrolled and prepared to start classes.
If you could earn college credit while still in high school—tuition-free—why wouldn’t you? That is exactly what Piedmont Technical College’s Dual Enrollment students will be able to do starting this fall.
