Area residents who are 16 years or older (and not attending school) who have not completed a high school degree are encouraged to be part of the high school equivalency diploma (HSED) program conducted by Iowa Central Community College.
Participants in the program will prepare for computer based HiSET testing to receive a HSED from the Iowa Department of Education. A blend of class time and online instruction, with mentor Marla Orfield, will cover math, writing, reading, science and social studies. Orfield has several years of experience with the HSED program and working with adult learners.
Classes will be held Tuesdays and Thursdays from 6 to 8:30 pm, in the basement of the United Methodist Church, 307 S. Wilson, Jefferson. An orientation for the new program year is slated for Tuesday, July 19, at 6 pm at the church. (Note: There will be no class July 26.)
Interested persons can contact Ann Waynar at 515-574-1959, waynar@iowacentral.edu, or Susan Doyle at 515-574-1263, doyle@iowacentral.edu. Orfield also welcomes inquiries during class time.
