Graham Elwood is the first 14-year-old to attend Southwest Tennessee Community College. Co-valedictorian of his Gateway Christian School senior class of 116, Elwood tested out of five grades in six months and graduated at the age 13 this past May. Though Elwood, who has an IQ of 170 and recorded an ACT score of 27, was awarded a Southwest President’s Scholarship, there was no red carpet rolled out to welcome him to campus. He, his parents and the college agreed to make his college experience as normal as possible. Southwest’s new student orientation was recently held, and the youngster blended in with all the other first-time students in his black t-shirt, with sunglasses clipped to the front
