New sessions for those seeking to earn their free High School Equivalency Certificate are on Nov. 4 and 5 at the Lee and Felicia Castellow Adult Learning Center at Casper College.
High School Equivalency Certificate Information Sessions
The first two sessions on Wednesday, Nov. 4, are at 9 a.m. and 1 p.m. The next three sessions on Thursday, Nov. 5, are at 9 a.m., 1 p.m., or 6 p.m. The Castellow Adult Learning Center requires all students seeking to earn their High School Equivalency Certificate through the center’s program to attend one of the five sessions.
The free service is open to the public. High School Equivalency Test preparation includes social studies, science, language arts, reading, writing, and math.
For those aged 25 and older who are not high school graduates, the median earnings are $770 per week, compared with $966 per week for high school graduates. That means high school graduates earn $10,192 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 Sept. 1, 2026. In addition, the unemployment rate is lower for high school graduates at 4.3% vs. 6.1% for those without a diploma or diploma equivalent.
All sessions will be held at the CALC. Those wishing to attend one of the two information sessions on Nov. 4 are asked to RSVP by Tuesday, Nov. 3. Those wishing to attend one of the three information sessions on Nov. 5 are asked to RSVP by Wednesday, Nov. 4. Reservations can be made on the CALC’s website or by calling 307-268-2230.
