Adult Education and Career Pathways

Get back on track with your high school diploma.

Learners completing high school credits proceed through a required course on an individual basis at their own pace and are well aware of the learner outcomes, learner activities and assessment techniques to be used. When a learner demonstrates competence in an academic area, credit is granted.

A student may enroll in the competency-based diploma program if his/her high school class has graduated.

H.S. Diploma classes are offered at the following times:

Days: Monday - Thursday, In-person evening classes: 3:00 p.m. - 8:00 p.m.

Please call 651-621-6250 to schedule a registration appointment.
