In fact, she just earned her high school equivalency diploma at Itawamba Community College at the age of 68, less than a month after her birthday. She passed the GED test on the first try as a result of her enrolling in an adult education class at the ICC Belden Center. “I wanted to complete something I started. I wanted to be a role model and show people that if you put in the time and work, you will be victorious,” she emphasized. “They had the tools I needed to be successful, and they had the teachers the Lord put here to help.” Montgomery dropped out of school when she was 12 to help at home.
