Adult High School


STUDENTS MUST EARN A TOTAL OF 22 CREDITS

Adults who did not complete their high school education have the opportunity to earn a high school diploma by attending class and accumulating the required number of credits..

Classes are offered in English, Math, Social Studies, and Science on Tuesday and Thursday evenings. Credits previously earned are transferable.

Additional credits may be earned for work experience, occupational license, apprenticeship training, formalized job training, military service, independent study, community service and by completing courses online that are provided by the State Department of Education. The adult high school also collaborates with Gateway Community College for additional credit options.

Call for an individual interview to determine if this is your best route to obtain a high school diploma.
