Anne Arundel Community College hosted its first high school graduation ceremony since 2019 on October 27. Three of our students walked the stage that evening and received their diplomas. A cheering group of Literacy Council tutors and staff joined in the moving celebration. The students and families were thrilled!
Jessica Whitehead was among the Literacy Council students honored at the ceremony. “I am very grateful to the Literacy Council and especially to my tutors, Ruth Hartcorn and John Wetzel, for their guidance in helping me complete the NEDP program and receive my high school diploma,” she recently said. “I am thankful to my NEDP counselor Susan Peters. This is a dream come true both for me and my family.”
Five Literacy Council students have earned their high school diplomas so far this calendar year through the GED or the NEDP (National External Diploma Program). Congratulations to all of them, and much gratitude to their wonderful tutors!
