The HiSET is an equivalency diploma program that replaces the GED program. An equivalency diploma can be earned by passing a five-part exam in the areas of writing, social studies, science, literature and mathematics. A diploma can open the door to further education and improve employment opportunities. A high school diploma is no longer an endpoint for adults, but a springboard for more education, training, and better-paying jobs. The HiSET will continue to provide adults the opportunity to earn a high school credential, but it goes further by measuring career- and college-readiness skills that are the focus of today’s curriculum and tomorrow’s success How Can You Get Started? You must be at least 18 years of age. Testing sessions and test preparation are available during both day and evening hours. Students may enroll at any time during the semester. There is no fee for this program. Accommodations for the HiSET test are available for individuals with a qualifying disability. Students are required to take the CASAS reading and math assessment, the official HiSET practice tests and the Career Pathways workshops prior to HiSET testing. Testing is offered on Wednesdays from 6:00-8:00 pm and Thursdays from 10:00 am to noon For more information contact Diann Bailey at 582-3774 or dbailey@msad11.org

Through specific instruction and targeted assignments students will be able to recover credit in Algebra and Geometry. Algebra I content will reinforce and expand upon skills and concepts taught in a traditional Algebra I course. Algebra II focuses on linear and quadratic functions, systems of equations, and graphing as tools for problem solving. Mastery of both conceptual and computational skills as well as the knowledge and ability to use both in the solution of problems will be emphasized. Geometry students will learn to apply formulas in a variety of situations, understand the relationship between angles, work with regular and irregular figures, use the Pythagorean Relationship to solve problems, understand how proportion is used in geometry and use logical reasoning. Diploma students only.
