We are now offering the HiSET test online and have added 8 new computer stations. 40 more Chromebooks were added to our campus for a total of 120.

3 Doubled our HS Diploma program by adding another full time teacher, now serving 110 students.
ESL- Added a Beginning–High class in the evenings. Hired an hourly ESL teacher for off-site classes at elementary schools now at three different sites Monday - Friday. Hired an EL Civics Coordinator to write curriculum and train teachers. HiSET Distance Learning added another hourly teacher, now serving 60 plus students. When a wait list has been created as a program fills, we have been able to add hourly teachers to start students in the program right away. We are working to reconfigure our HiSET preparation program to create more student interest and accessibility. We are looking at going to 2 days a week and focusing on two subjects at time. Hired a full time Bilingual Intermediate Office Assistant. We now have a full time Administrator and two 50% Counselors. As of December 2017 we have a LBCC Counselor that comes to campus twice a month to help transition our students to LBCC. Special Thanks to Lorraine Blowin, LBCC Head Counselor, for helping to make this a reality. Ordered new books and updated curriculum for all programs. Staff/Curriculum
