Central Union student earns four associate degrees before graduating high school

EL CENTRO, Calif. (KYMA) - An 11th grade student became the youngest graduate of Imperial Valley College's Dual Enrollment program.

Noah Munguia earned four associate degrees before completing high school.

His degrees are in psychology, behavioral science, social science and university studies: social and behavioral science.

Munguia is planning to earn his fifth associate degree by May 2026.

“It’s important to not give up, keep working no matter how hard it is and have people there to support you, that’s what really matters, having people to talk to and be there for you when you really need it,” said Munguia. “It’s just amazing being able to do all of this and being a student-athlete, accomplishing a lot of my goals.” 

Munguia wants to continue his education at California State University San Marcos and work towards both a bachelor's and master's degrees.
