Half-dozen Douglas High students to receive college degrees on Monday

A half-dozen Douglas High School students and one home-schooled student from Stateline will receive college degrees in Carson City on Monday.

They are among 168 Western Nevada College graduates to be honored Monday and Wednesday.

The total, coming from 10 high schools and three academies and homeschool students, ties for the record set last year.

“Congratulations to the 168 students in our Jump Start program — matching a record for WNC — and to their families for this outstanding accomplishment,” said WNC President Dr. J. Kyle Dalpe. “Our high school students are an essential part of the WNC community, and we’re proud to provide opportunities for them to get a head start on their college journey. We wish each of these students the very best as they continue to pursue their educational and career goals.”

The graduating Tigers are Laurel Benigno, Thomas Cook, Chloe Eaton, Anthony Nex, Cristian Valenzuela Gonzalez, Roslyn Grace Williams and the home-schooled student is Stateline resident Sophia Purvance.

Since 2013, WNC has provided high school students in Nevada with the opportunity to earn up to an associate degree before earning their high school diploma.

On Saturday, the college released the list of nearly 600 graduates, including around 90 who reside in and around Douglas County:
