High School Equivalency Classes


Did you know that in Lucas County, nearly 40,000 adults aged 18 to 64 do not have a high school credential? Earning a High Equivalency Certificate (HSE) will:

  • increase earning potential
  • provide an opportunity for advancing in current jobs
  • open job opportunities
  • lead to enrollment in post-secondary education (College or Trade School)
