High School Diploma AND a GED?

<p>Is it possible to obtain your GED while in high school, and still finish off high school and get your regular diploma, too?</p>

<p>In case you are asking why I would want to do this:
The reason I ask this is because I need a high school diploma OR a GED to be eligible to take classes to become an EMT. I'm a junior in high school at the moment, but I need a way to help pay for college. Being an EMT I also think would increase my chances of getting into a good medical school, which is something I would like to do. I want to graduate from my regular high school too simply because the diploma would look good on college apps. I go to a very good high school that is actually known by colleges. </p>

<p>So, in essence, I need a way to start the training ASAP. Is getting a GED while I am in high school in order to do take the EMT certification classes possible? </p>

<p>I will not be quitting high school for any period of time.</p>
