DUAL ENROLLMENT PROGRAM PREPARING STROM THURMOND STUDENT FOR FUTURE

Gracie Herrin has big plans for her future. And she’s taking the steps now to prepare her for success.

The senior at Strom Thurmond High School plans to head to Clemson University whenshe graduates next spring. Her goal is to

complete her bachelor’s degree in agribusiness in just three years. To accomplish that, Herrin has filled her final two years of high school with dual enrollment classes through Piedmont Tech.

“I plan on graduating college early, and these classes will allow me to do that by completing most of my freshmen classes here,” Herrin said.

Herrin has already completed 19 hours and is enrolled to complete 12 more for next year. She also has three more classes she plans to take before the end of the year. And she is not taking just general education courses. Her classes include horticulture, applied agriculture calculations and accounting.

“My friends are surprised by how many classes I’ve taken and how many I’m planning to take next year,” Herrin said. “But, they understand my goal to finish Clemson early.”
