Admission Process
The adult education program is open to any person who is at least eighteen (18) years old and who is not currently enrolled in a regular high school program. Students may enroll at any time during the year. Check the schedule of the location nearest you and make the call today. 

Students who are seventeen (17) may be eligible to attend adult education.  17-year-old students must meet with an adult education teacher and a determination of whether adult education is an option will be decided.  Call 488-6200 to schedule an appointment.  The student must bring a parent/guardian and a transcript from his/her high school. If you are a student from out of district or from out of state, you must sign for a sealed transcript to be mailed to our center. 17 year olds may attend at any of the available times, but an hourly requirement per week applies for continual enrollment.
