Memorial Early College High School Graduates

The most recent St. Philip's College alumni from Memorial Early College High School were noted for their achievement in a local news report. According to the May 16 KENS5 report Comal ISD students achieve degrees before diplomas, "Over forty high school students were presented with associate’s degrees from St. Phillip’s College on Friday even before they earned their high school diplomas. “We are so proud of these students for all of their hard work,” Tia Weidenfeller, the high school counselor stated. “They have such a great head start as they move on to four-year universities.” The forty-eight college graduates will receive their high school diplomas at Canyon High School’s Performing Arts Center on June 2. The first class from Alamo Colleges-Memorial Early College High School graduated from St. Philip's College in 2014. Students traditionally take their college courses at their high school as freshmen and sophomores, and then take a bus twice a week to take college courses at St. Philip’s College as juniors and seniors.
