Wednesday night at 7 at the Klein Memorial Auditorium the city’s Adult and Alternative Education Department will issue 197 diplomas to high school dropouts who made a decision to “drop back in” overcoming numerous challenges such as teen pregnancy, disciplinary issues, substance abuse, health problems and caring for loved ones. The graduates, ranging in age from 18 to 64, will receive diplomas from the city’s Accredited High School Diploma program.
In spite of these challenges or other reasons for leaving, the city residents recognized the need to return to school and we are proud to say will soon be high school graduates, according to former Mayor John Fabrizi who heads the school system program.
