High school. College. A part-time job. And aerial training high above the ground. 🤸‍♀️🎓

Sophia is proving there’s more than one way to build your high school experience.

A former competitive gymnast turned aerialist, Sophia trains on silks, trapeze, and lyra while also completing high school and working toward an associate degree in Psychology through Great Bay Community College.

Through Early College, she’s been able to combine online and in-person courses, enjoy smaller class sizes, and start making progress toward her college goals before graduating high school. She plans to continue her education with interests in areas including sports psychology, sports medicine, and therapy.

Her story shows how Early College can give motivated students the flexibility to create a path that works for them.

Great Bay Community College is preparing the next generation of police leaders with its new Criminal Justice Leadership certificate, launching in spring 2027.

“This certificate gives working professionals and aspiring leaders a structured pathway to develop those skills while applying them directly to the real-world challenges they face,” says Eric Kulberg, chair of Great Bay’s Criminal Justice Program.

The program combines leadership theory, research methods, and hands-on experience, with classes taught by practitioners and shared with Great Bay’s undergraduate criminal justice students, so newer students learn alongside experienced officers.
