Karmelo Anthony, the teen accused of fatally stabbing Frisco Memorial High School athlete Austin Metcalf during a track meet in early April, clearly puts in the work while at school.
Anthony’s family had been the target of false information, hateful attacks, and threats that misrepresented the family and the case.
In the aftermath of Anthony’s release from jail, he was moved to an undisclosed location for his safety after his family received threats and was harassed. Since being arrested and released, there has been a ton of misinformation spread throughout social media that has subjected the family to even more attacks.
What thing that trolls cannot lie about is his high school GPA.
Karmelo Anthony is doing well enough to graduate.
Social justice organization Next Generation Action Network (NGAN) said Anthony has met all the academic requirements to graduate.
Under an agreement reached between Frisco ISD and Anthony’s family, he will not be allowed to attend any graduation activities or the final stretch of school for his senior year, but he will be allowed to receive his diploma.

The organization said his 3.7 GPA and completion of all graduation requirements mean he can graduate without attending the final month and a half of the academic year.

What Karmelo Anthony’s Family Plans To Do With Fundraiser Money
The Karmelo Anthony Help Fund has become one of the most-discussed fundraising campaigns since the stabbing death incident.
The incident, in which Metcalf was fatally stabbed, happened on April 2 at Memorial High School in Frisco, about 30 miles north of Dallas. Prior to the altercation, Metcalf had reportedly asked Anthony to remove himself from under a tent as he did not attend that high school.
More than $531,000 has been donated to the “Help Karmelo Anthony Official Fund” on the crowdsourcing site GiveSendGo.com.
GiveSendGo co-founder Jacob Wells made it clear that the family will use the funds to cover Karmelo’s legal fees and provide security for the family.
