Shaker Heights senior Dallas Burns already has a college diploma before her high school graduation Wednesday.
She used the Ohio College Credit Plus Program. You can simultaneously earn college and high school credits by taking courses from community colleges or universities. Better yet, it's free. Dallas is following in her mom's footsteps. Jackson did it, too; a similar program with a different name. "I think that ultimately it takes a village," said Devony."I don't have any children myself. So, I'm just so thankful that my sister has allowed both me and my other sister, Dawn, to have such an active role in helping her with her kids. It's a blessing in my life."There are many achievements to celebrate, but they mostly tell me it's about family.
