Seeing this made me remember that the rate of retention in schools in the US is something that still needs work. There’s lots of people who don’t have a GED. Congratulations to Quavo for even choosing to go back to Highschool it’s really an achievement. https://t.co/aipWCqS4JX

Quavo—whose full name is Quavious Marshall—attended Berkmar High School in Lilburn, Georgia as a teen and was a star quarterback.
However, he made the tough decision to drop out of school during his senior year to pursue his music career full time.
The rapper received his diploma from Berkmar by completing the Georgia state requirements to qualify him as a high school graduate.
Quavo and Migos celebrated by dropping their new song, “Need it” featuring YoungBoy Never Broke Again.
We at GOT also want to give a special shoutout to ALL of the 2020 quarantine graduates, who unfortunately missed out on special moments like prom and commencement ceremonies.
