Adult Education
Whether you’re here to pursue a better job, earn more money at work, learn English or finish your high school diploma, our Adult Education programs make it possible. Our comprehensive programs are designed to prepare adults 16 and older to take their High School Equivalency (HSE) and/or English as a Second Language (ESL) exams. And with our Career Pathways program, students can enroll in one of a select offering of workforce programs at the same time as they are enrolled in the HSE or ESL program.
