Earlier this month, Eminem's 18-year-old daughter, Hailie Jade Scott Mathers, graduated from Michigan's Chippewa Valley High School. She graduated Summa Cum Laude with a grade point average of at least 3.9. Her father dropped out of high school, so he must have been proud to see his "baby girl" graduate (and with honors no less)!
The rapper has paid tribute to his daughter in the past with the tracks such as "Hailie's Song" and "Mockingbird," but it was Hailie paying tribute to her father (and mother) this time around.
The school released a newsletter celebrating its graduating class. Hailie's entry paid tribute to her dad, whose real name is Marshall Mathers, and her mother, his ex-wife, Kim Mathers (she is the former couple's only biological child). She named them as the "Most Influential During My Lifetime."
"My mother and father are because they have pushed me to be the person I am," she wrote, "and have given me all the support to achieve what I have."
The newsletter also pointed out that Hailie will be attending Michigan State University, where she hopes to study psychology and has expressed interest in becoming an entrepreneur.
During her time in high school, the newsletter notes, she was a member of The National Honor Society, art club, key club, volleyball team, and student council. She also received the Academic Excellence Award and Department of Psychology Award. Last year, Hailie was crowned homecoming queen at her high school.
Yesterday, Hailie revealed her senior prom photos on Twitter (via Hollywood Life). For the event, she wore a strapless ball gown with a sweetheart neckline.
