Start the New Year by earning your High School Equivalency Certificate

​

Those seeking to earn their High School Equivalency Certificate can do so on January 7 or 9. The Lee and Felicia Castellow Adult Learning Center at Casper College will host the five sessions.

The first two sessions are on Tuesday, Jan. 7, at 9 a.m. and 1 p.m. The next three sessions occur on Thursday, Jan. 9, at 9 a.m. and 1 or 6 p.m.

The CALC requires all students who want to work on earning their High School Equivalency Certificate through the CALC’s program to attend one of the five sessions.

For those who are not high school graduates, 25 years and over, the median earnings are $734 a week versus $946 a week for high school graduates. That means high school graduates will make $11,024 more per year than those without a high school diploma, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics Office of Occupational Statistics and Employment Projections as of October 25, 2024.

The service is free and open to the public. The High School Equivalency preparation includes social studies, science, language arts, reading, writing, and math.

In addition to high school equivalency preparation, the CALC provides English as a Second Language classes, and every student wanting more education will receive help finding a college and even a career pathway.

All sessions will be held at the CALC. Those wishing to attend one of the two information sessions on Jan. 7 are asked to RSVP by Monday, Jan.. 6.
