Adult Education

Adult Education provides instruction in communication and computation skills for individuals beyond the age of compulsory school attendance who are functioning at a level of performance that does not permit them to meet their adult responsibilities in today's society.

Continuing Education/Workforce Education

The concept of continuing education reflects the attitude of a fast-paced and changing society striving for more involvement in and awareness of the world around it. Continuing Education/ Workforce Education provides the opportunity for the surrounding community to take classes for personal, social, physical, and professional needs. Classes are designed and created as a result of voiced needs and opinions of the community. Classes can be organized to meet projected needs of business, community, cultural, and special interest groups. Community members who are interested in pursuing a new interest or teaching a class are encouraged to call the Continuing Education/Workforce Education Office.
