GED Program
The purpose of the district’s GED Program is to
educate, empower, and engage parents through
opportunities provided by DeKalb County School
District and community collaborators. The GED
Program gives parents impactful resources that
will help improve or enhance their personal and
professional growth and development. This FREE
program offers profound life-changing support
that will assist adult learners with achieving their
academic goals as well as career and college
readiness skills.
Obtaining a GED provides parents in the district
opportunities that include support to:
• Enroll in postsecondary educational programs.
• Obtain job training skills | certifications.
• Earn workforce development | advancement.
• Maintain and/or establish financial stability.
• Receive community collaborators’ resources.
• Gain knowledge that will help assist children with
schoolwork.
The GED tests include the reading, writing, thinking,
and problem-solving skills needed for success in
postsecondary educational programs and for the
world of work. Parents are encouraged to open the
program’s door and take advantage of the various
opportunities that are a springboard to higher
education, to better paying jobs, and to rewarding
career paths. Realizing that “It Takes a Village to
Support our Families”, we are a community that
inspires adults to be lifelong learners, empowers
adults to achieve their educational goals, and
celebrates adults’ accomplishments as they excel
personally and professionally.
