It was a quick turnaround for last year's American Idol Winner, Scotty McCreery, who took home his first CMT music award and high school diploma in the time it takes for an average teen to wake up on the weekends.

Mere hours after McCreery hit the stage to pick up his award for Breakthrough Video of the Year in Nashville, Tennessee for The Trouble with Girls last night, the country crooner accepted his diploma states away at North Carolina's Garner High School.
The high-achiever and his family reportedly caught a midnight flight back to North Carolina so he could attend the 8 a.m. ceremony.

Fun side note: McCreery's winning video was shot at his graduating high school just last year.
