WOONSOCKET –– In his 17 years, Daniel Collin McNulty has missed more days of school than he has attended, spending weeks at a time in the hospital battling illnesses caused by autoimmune diseases.
But on June 17, he will cross the stage to graduate sixth in a class of 358 students at Woonsocket High School and become the first public school student in Rhode Island to have completed nearly all of his credits through online classes.
Daniel’s diploma will be testimony to his perseverance, the devotion of his parents and the dedication of a team of Woonsocket administrators, guidance counselors and teachers who developed an “e-learning” approach that enabled Daniel to keep up with his peers by studying on his laptop whenever he was healthy enough, including nights, summers and weekends.
