The faculty and staff of the Adult Learning Center would like to congratulate our students who earned their GED® credential during the 2019-2020 school year. It is our sincere hope that this achievement will be the springboard to your future and a stepping stone to your success. We appreciate your understanding of the unusual close of this school year and are extremely proud of each of you and all you accomplished during this time. We want to celebrate with you in a meaningful way. It is our plan to combine the GED® Recognition Ceremony for the Class of 2020 with our celebration of the Class of 2021. This celebration will occur in the Spring of 2021, and each of you will receive a letter from the ALC this summer informing you of the date next May when we will celebrate together. We wanted to mark your accomplishment together with your family and friends. It was for that reason that we decided to hold a joint GED® Recognition Ceremony for both classes together. We will look forward to watching each of you walk across the stage in recognition of your success.
