DES MOINES (AP) - Olympic gymnast Shawn Johnson says she won't return to Valley High School in West Des Moines for her senior year and instead will get her degree through Internet courses.

Speaking Sunday at an autograph session, Johnson says she doesn't have time to attend regular school every day because of her many public events, including recent participation in ABC's "Dancing With the Stars." Instead, she'll enroll in a national online school.

The 17-year-old Johnson says she hasn't decided whether she wants to compete in the 2012 Olympics, but she has narrowed her college choices. She says she's looking closest at Stanford and UCLA, saying they're great schools and she loves California.

She couldn't compete at the college level but would like to coach.
