Nash Community College is now offering a five-week High School Equivalency program. Provided through the NCC Continuing Education College and Career Readiness program, the “Boot Camp” is a multi\u2013subject course that integrates the Social Studies, Reading, Writing, Science, and Math skills necessary to pass the High School Equivalency examinations. Students attend classes daily, take practice tests in the Learning Lab as the week progresses, and then take the official examinations each Thursday<\/span> night or Friday<\/span> morning. Because of the fast\u2013 paced nature of this course, perfect attendance, and adequate placement test scores are required.<\/p>\n

“It took a lot of discipline, sacrifice, and soul-searching to get from where I began to where I am today. Along this journey I have learned a lot of things. I learned that before I could be the best student I could be, the best father to my children, and the best husband to my wife, I first needed to get myself together and work on becoming the best man I could be,” NCC \u200bHigh School Equivalency Boot Camp graduate\u00a0William Gorham said.\u00a0He was among NCC’s first boot camp cohort graduates in May.<\/p>\n

Students in the NCC High School Equivalency program score at or above\u00a0a ninth grade level in Reading and Math. Individuals interested in a traditional paced class may be placed\u00a0in graduated Math and Writing courses following an orientation.\u00a0When students feel\u00a0comfortable they may take the exams for completion. NCC offers the GED, HiSET, and the TASC\u00a0in its testing center.<\/p>\n

“Even beyond my goal of obtaining my High School Equivalency diploma, the College & Career Readiness program has helped me plan the next steps to my future and I am proud to say that I have transitioned and am currently enrolled in the Culinary Arts program at Nash, and I will not stop until I receive that degree,” Gorham said.<\/p>\n

The NCC College and Career Readiness Department\u00a0serves students\u00a0without a High School Diploma with a completely\u00a0free program. The programs offered include:\u00a0Foundational Adult Basic\u00a0Education,\u00a0Adult Basic Education,\u00a0High School Equivalency,\u00a0Basic Skills Plus,\u00a0College & Career\u00a0Readiness Bridge Courses and Adult High School.
