The class includes 65 students who completed the GED certificate requirements at LCSC sites in Grangeville, Kamiah, Lewiston, Moscow, and Orofino.
This ceremony culminates a rigorous 7 1/2-hour battery of exams that measure the essential academic skills and concepts of a traditional high school education. Students who complete the program have demonstrated higher order thinking skills, problem solving ability, and reading and writing skills.
Tests cover the five content areas of Language Arts, Reading; Language Arts, Writing; Mathematics; Science and Social Studies. They also measure an adult's ability to understand and apply information, evaluate, analyze, draw conclusions, solve problems and express ideas and opinions in writing.
Donna Callahan, Director of the Adult Learning Center at LCSC, will welcome graduates, their families and friends following the traditional processional and National Anthem. LCSC President J. Anthony (Tony) Fernandez, State Representative Jeff Nesset, and Dean of Community Programs Kathy Martin will provide greetings. Tom Safley from the Lewiston Rotary Club will present $1,000 scholarships to two exceptional GED graduates.
Two students, Sergio Leon and Edwin Williams, will share in giving the commencement address. Callahan, will present the Class of 2011 for the conferring of certificates by President Fernandez.
Following the commencement ceremony, a reception is planned for graduates, their families and friends.
