Miguel Mora, an ASU Prep Digital microschool student, is not your typical high school junior. He is a rising star with 2.8 million followers on TikTok and another 1.3 million on Instagram, plus credits in the 2022 horror film The Black Phone.
Miguel recently spoke to Fox News about the impact of the Screen Actors Guild (SAG) strike on his career. With a pause in his acting projects, Miguel has kept himself occupied by attending charity events in Los Angeles and working on collaborations and partnerships.
Miguel also prioritized his studies. Thanks to the flexibility offered by the ASU Prep microschool program, he completes some classes remotely and others on an ASU campus. “That’s essentially what I really like about this program. Not only do I have the benefit of doing school online, but I can also come to the campus and socialize with some of the other ASU prep students as well.”
Regardless of his celebrity success, Miguel plans to complete both his high school and college education, sharing, “100% I look forward to being an ASU alumni.”
Trista Zobitz, ASU Prep’s Microschool Program Manager, commended Miguel’s effective use of the hybrid program, noting that he’s taking a couple of college courses alongside his high school curriculum and plans to graduate early.
Mora’s story is a testament to the flexibility and adaptability of ASU Prep’s microschool program, which allows students to balance their unique passions and education.
