Rio Salado e-learning student named one of nation's top 20 community college students

One of the nation’s top 20 community college students is a dynamic Rio Salado (Tempe) scholar and aspiring economist who has never stepped foot inside a formal classroom in his life. Mesa resident Christopher Burton, 19, has taken his college courses primarily through e-learning while running two Internet-based businesses and serving as caretaker for his homebound mother. His K-12 and high school education were completed through home schooling. On Monday, April 7, Chris was officially designated a member of the prestigious All-USA Academic Team by USA Today, the American Association of Community Colleges (AACC) and Phi Theta Kappa International Honor Society (PTK).
