Adult Learner Success Story
Juan wanted more out of life, and in 2021, he joined the Aspire program to make it happen. Balancing full-time work and study was tough, but his strong practice test score earned him a high school equivalency testing voucher. By November, Juan had passed and enrolled in a local community college by Spring 2022.
