Our House e-newsletter July 2013 | Página 8

The Learning Center at Our House serves over 500 students per year, including our housing program participants, clients of partner organizations, and community members. Through a wonderful partnership with Pulaski County Adult Education, we are able to provide intensive GED prep work and even host practice tests for our clients right here on campus. Our GED success rate has experienced rapid growth over the past year, and as we expand our programming we hope to propel even more students to success in coming months. However, the additional obstacles of computer-only testing, increased math requirements, and administration fees will make it even harder for even our most dedicated clientele to achieve their educational goals. Nevertheless, we remain optimistic. We believe that with the support of our community, the expertise of our staff, and the unrelenting commitment of our students, we can continue to help people pursue a better future for themselves and their families through our GED program.
