"While promoting his upcoming Bruce Springsteen biopic Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere on Live with Kelly and Mark on Thursday, White revealed that he never actually finished high school. "I wasn't a good student because I didn't go to school enough. And so I didn't get all my credits and never graduated from high school," he said. White went to a drama school in midtown Manhattan and admitted that he "would just leave at lunch and never come back.""
""So as of last night, at 34 years old, I graduated high school," White said. Now, I'm not entirely sure how high school diplomas work (given the social construct of it all), but I don't think Jeremy knows either. I'm pretty sure being handed a diploma by an old teacher doesn't exactly wipe the ol' transcript clean. You still have to pass pre-calc, but then again, maybe this is more like an honorary doctorate situation."
Jeremy Allen White never completed high school because he missed classes and lacked credits. He attended a drama school in midtown Manhattan and often left at lunch, failing to return. While promoting his Bruce Springsteen biopic Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere on Live with Kelly and Mark, he acknowledged not graduating. At the New York Film Festival premiere of the biopic, his former drama teacher Greg Parente surprised him by presenting a diploma. White announced, "So as of last night, at 34 years old, I graduated high school." Some skepticism remains about whether the diploma clears academic requirements or functions more like an honorary recognition.
