Secondary Credit, Vocational, and Computer Classes

Youth over the age of 16 years and adults may continue to earn credits toward their high school diploma by enrolling in the Adult Secondary Credit (ASC) classes.  This alternative program offers a full menu of credit classes during the day and evening throughout the school year.  Adults may earn the credits needed to complete the requirements for their diploma.  Classes are available in welding (MIG and TIG), machine trades, auto mechanics and computers using the latest version of Microsoft software.

Adults who need to upgrade skills for entrance into postsecondary training programs such as apprenticeship or passing the ACT test for the Associate Degree Program may enroll in secondary credit Algebra or English classes.  Several businesses utilize the welding and machine trades programs to upgrade the skills of the employees.
