Best Answer

During Martin Luther King, Jr.'s junior year of high school, Morehouse College in Atlanta, Georgia offered a program in which it would accept high school juniors who could pass an entrance exam. King passed the entrance exam and was accepted to the college; therefore, he didn't graduate high school, but he did go on to college.
