FORT OGLETHORPE, Ga. — It was the perfect April Fool’s joke, except it wasn’t a joke.
On April 1, Steven Harris got the notice from Princeton University, making him the first Lakeview-Fort Oglethorpe High School graduate to be accepted to the Ivy League school.
He laughs when he remembers deciding to have a little fun with his mother, Debbie.
“Well, I didn’t get in. I guess I’m going to Stanford,” he told her.
He’d already been accepted to Georgia Tech and Stanford.
