The GED® exam is a nationally recognized high school equivalency test delivered exclusively on the computer which provides a consistent testing experience nationwide and improved passing rates. Same-day scoring on all four parts is available, as well as a score report for reporting and remediation. Tests can be administered individually or as a group as selected by the candidate. A GED® Passing Score of 145 is required in each of the four content areas:
An alternative to the GED high school equivalency, HSDO is designed for students 19 years or older who have completed all of the required credits for graduation but failed the Alabama High School Graduation Exam (AHSGE), or students who have dropped out of the traditional high school setting after earning 10 credits but before earning all of the required credits. After receiving an official transcript from the last Alabama high school attended, students will work the HSDO coordinator to determine eligibility and the best option available to them. Students receive a traditional high school diploma after completing the HSDO program.
Participants connect with a career counselor who will assist them in developing an educational plan to earn a workforce certification or academic credential. Students can take college-level classes and train for a career while earning a GED or HSD!
This program targets youth in Butler, Crenshaw, and Pike Counties ages 16-24 that have dropped out of high school or are not successfully employed to help them complete their GED and acquire necessary employability skills.

ESL classes equip students with the confidence and skills needed to better succeed in the workplace, community, and other educational/training programs. Instruction is provided in the areas of listening, speaking, reading, writing, and grammar.
