NIACC holds high school equivalency graduation
The 2016 High School Equivalency Diploma (formerly GED®) graduation ceremony was held at 7:00 p.m. on Wednesday, June 1 in the Activity Center on the North Iowa Area Community College (NIACC) campus.
Six student speakers shared their journeys with the guests, and the NIACC Foundation also awarded NIACC scholarships to top-scoring graduates. A reception for graduates, families, friends, and supporters was held in the Activity Center immediately following the ceremony.
HSED graduates must successfully complete the battery of five tests on the HiSET™ exam to obtain their high school equivalency diploma from the Iowa Department of Education. The program helps people from a variety of age groups and backgrounds reach this crucial goal.
Fifty-nine graduates from a number of communities in North Iowa were recognized at the ceremony (several chose not to have their names published). Those from our area include:
Joice
Miller, Jacob A.
Toomer, Lamonttina J.
Lake Mills
Morales, Kari
