One Graduation, Two Diplomas

Math. Science. History. English. Repeat. When you’re a student, at some point the goal is to figure out what exactly you’re good at. But what if you know your passion early on? P-TECH, an education model co-founded and inspired by IBM, gives ninth graders the opportunity to earn an Associates Degree in a technology discipline by the time they complete high school. Cletus, Kiambu, Michelle, Gabriel, Radcliffe and Rahat are the first graduates. And with so much buzz about how to improve education in America, these six bright minds just might pave the way for more science, tech, engineering and math (STEM) programs to come.
