    In August my son gets to go to Saint Cloud State instead of going to high school for his senior year because of his grades. Our school district has had this worked out with that college for some time and even covers the tuition. He has already started taking some college classes this year that they offer at his school. Very few get this chance to go the entire senior year and not have to go to high school at all. Pretty proud of him and now we are just deciding if we are going to let him stay in the dorms all year or drive back and forth. Leaning pretty strongly with the dorms because it is an hour away.

    You have every right to be proud, and even brag a little bit. Congrats to your son on his years of hard work.

    Blessings.........Pastorjim

    That’s amazing. Congratulations. You’ll be bragging about this for years, and deservedly so.

    I went to St. Cloud State and loved it (although I didn't stay in the dorms). Congrats!

    Tom, yeah the dorm and food plan is not cheap but heck the tuition is free the first year. I am so glad that I am done paying for the kids college bills all I left is to sit thru 1 more long boring graduation ceremony.
