AUM's Youngest Graduate

By Alabama Public Radio

Montgomery, AL – Auburn University Montgomery is graduating a 17-year-old. Hannah Harding is the school's youngest graduate ever. She began her college career when she was 12-years-old. She was home schooled, and Hannah's mother allowed her to take a few extra classes at a junior college when their family was living in California. Two of Hannah's sisters are also setting their own collegiate records. At 16 and 14, they're the two youngest students in A-U-M's history. Hannah is the oldest of eight siblings and -- by the way -- she's graduating at the top of her class.
