Congratulations to Kyle Cearlock

Kyle Cearlock holding Lincoln Land Community College diploma coverWe love to share our students’ success stories, and we congratulate Kyle Cearlock, an LLCC College NOW student and Taylorville High School senior, for his accomplishments!
Kyle recently graduated with an associate in science from LLCC prior to earning his high school diploma. He took college-level courses on top of his high school schoolwork, extracurriculars and sports — and did so with a 4.0 GPA!
Kyle plans to transfer to the University of Missouri and hopes more students will take advantage of concurrent enrollment opportunities to graduate from LLCC and high school around the same time.
