Dakota Fanning Graduates High School (Photos)
Dakota Fanning has graduated high school!
The 17-year-old actress attended her high school graduation yesterday. She sat amongst her classmates at the Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles for the ceremony honoring Campbell Hall’s Class of 2011.
The flexible North Hollywood private school allowed Fanning to continue with her high school education, while still pursuing her successful film career.
Outside of her movie commitments, Fanning managed to fit in a true high school experience. She was crowned Homecoming Queen two years in a row and was a member of the varsity cheerleading squad.
“I think it was really important to have the high school experience,” she said on the Today Show last fall.
” I just think everyone always looks back on that time in their life. Who was homecoming princess and [did] the cheerleading … and all the things that go along with high school? And I wanted to have that. I’m really lucky that I found a school that allows me to do both.”
Fanning plans to enroll in New York University this fall.

I don’t mean to be rude, really, but is it just me or does it sound too good to be true? She was Homecoming Queen two years in a row, member of the varsity cheerleaders, and what does all that tie-in with?
She’s a famous actress. Very successful, too, I might add. Sorry to sound so negitive — but really. Popularity contest much?
