NeeAli Scott, a 17-year-old student at Savannah Arts Academy in Georgia, has achieved a remarkable academic milestone by earning her college degree before her high school diploma, according to WALB News 10.
The news outlet reported that NeeAli graduated from Savannah State University with an associate of science degree nearly a month before completing her high school education.

NeeAli’s mom Sabriya Scott, couldnt not hold in how proud she is of her daughter, taking to her Insatgram saying:

GOD DID just that and today NeeAli graduated from SSU with her Associate Of Science Degree! ????????,” she added. “Congratulations NeeAli Scott for being an amazing kid!! We ❤️ you!”
“Big thanks to my entire village and everyone that celebrated this milestone with her. ❤️,”
Congratulations NeeAli!
