In a remarkable display of academic prowess, 15-year-old Noel Ramos has achieved an extraordinary feat by graduating from Kellogg Community College in the United States with two degrees, all before completing high school. The Michigan teen, currently a sophomore at Gull Lake High School, earned an Associate in Arts and an Associate in General Studies degree from Kellogg Community College.
Noel embarked on her educational journey by dual-enrolling at Kellogg Community College during her first year in high school. Initially, she took up to five college classes per semester, starting with basic English and math. The decision to pursue a degree arose when her mother discovered the benefits of the dual-enrollment program.

"I was just taking college classes the first semester. Like I didn’t plan on graduating at all. Then my mom started looking into and she was like ‘Wait a second you like taking these classes you might as well just like get your degree.’ I’m like ‘Oh my goodness that’s such a good idea,” said Noel.
Throughout high school, Noel successfully completed 15 to 20 college courses, covering diverse subjects such as criminal psychology, studio art, and astronomy. Despite facing challenges, she found the college courses academically less demanding than some of her high school classes.
"College teachers do care about your grades, but it all depends on you. You have to keep in contact with the teachers; you have to actually care,” remarked Noel.
Looking ahead, Noel aspires to become a school psychologist. She credits her recent accomplishments for amplifying her career goals, driven in part by the media attention garnered by her academic achievements.
