Two Levelland High School seniors graduated from both South Plains College and LHS this past week.
Nathan Ellis and Hailyn Grant are both earning their SPC diplomas today while continuing at LHS to complete their high school degrees as well. The accomplishment takes extra effort, dedication, and a strong commitment to personal growth.
Hailyn Grant plans to apply to the Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center this spring to begin her Bachelor of Science in nursing. After completing her BSN, she intends to pursue a master’s degree and become a pediatric, labor and delivery nurse practitioner.
Nathan Ellis will continue attending SPC during the spring semester. After graduating from high school, he plans to attend the University of Texas at Austin to study mechanical engineering.
