The Learning Center

Happy National GED Day! We celebrate each student who has walked through our doors and every volunteer who makes The Learning Center such a welcoming and safe place to learn.

We are so happy to announce that Rod has earned his GED! Rod spent the last 7 months in our GED classes. His teachers taught him the material he needed to know and instilled in him the confidence he needed to move forward with testing. Now that Rod has earned his diploma, he intends to take classes to become an HVAC technician. Congratulations, Rod! You did the hard work, and we are all so proud of you.

MJ arrived in America two years ago from Senegal. His first language is French, and he has been learning to speak English since his arrival. MJ was recruited to play basketball by a college in Georgia, but had one hurdle to face, which seemed impossible because of his language barrier. He needed a GED. MJ contacted The Learning Center in January and studied for the next six months. To the amazement of all, MJ passed all four sections of the GED and earned his GED yesterday. He made the deadline to register for college, which begins in a few weeks. MJ didn't let a new country or a new language stand in his way of pursuing his dreams. Congratulations, MJ. We'll be looking for you on the basketball court.
