Former TABS Student Becomes UNT’S Youngest Known Ph.D Graduate
Noel Jett, a former student of Fort Worth ISD’s Texas Academy of Biomedical Sciences, will become the youngest-known Ph.D graduate at the University of North Texas, when she accepts her degree in educational psychology, December 14.
Miss Jett, 19, entered TABS as a 12-year-old freshman and briefly studied at the early college high school. Her mother was the school’s first parent liaison, said Troy Langston, the school’s former principal who currently leads FWISD’s Paschal High School.
“I was proud to hear about her doctoral degree,” Mr. Langston said.
When Miss Jett left TABS, she went onto study at Tarrant County College. In 2015, she earned her bachelor’s degree from Texas A&M University in psychology. That same year she began studies at UNT with a focus on gifted and talented students like herself.
“As a gifted person, I want to know how people like me work,” she told UNT’s alumni magazine The North Texan in 2015.
