“The HS+ program is a life-saver! I was originally going to get my GED, until I learned
about this amazing program. I am a stay-at-home mother and this allowed me to work
at my own pace, while taking care of my kiddos. I have nothing negative to say, in
fact, my entire experience has been positive. Thank you, LCC... without the HS+ program,
I am not quite sure where I would be today. I now have plans to make my future brighter
and more successful. — Brittany Stroud, Fall 2017 HS+ Grad.
