This May, 11 high school seniors earned two-year college transfer degrees through Northeast Iowa Community College (NICC), an academic achievement made possible because of concurrent enrollment agreements between the schools and NICC. The graduates represent three high schools in the counties of Allamakee, Fayette and Winneshiek, and their accomplishments are the result of careful academic planning, persistence, ambition and career direction.
Two of the 11 students, Alex Marti and Madison Snitker, graduated from Waukon High School and earned an NICC degree simultaneously by taking advantage of the affordable, flexible and academically challenging college credit opportunity.
“It means so much to have completed my Associate of Arts while in high school. I have a great head start, and I’m not as worried about college debt. I would like to thank Northeast Iowa Community College for giving me this opportunity,” expressed Marti.
