General Educational Development (GED)

The General Educational Development (GED) Program is designed for persons who were once enrolled in school, but for various reasons, did not complete the requirements for high school graduation.

Classes are available for people who wish to develop or refresh the skills necessary for the successful completion of the GED test. Students are encouraged to take the GED test when their progress indicates their readiness.

Contact Jerri Young if you have any GED questions.
