Several dozen students were honored at Columbus Technical College recently by either successfully completing their GED testing and/or earning their certification in ESL. The students hail from all over the Columbus Tech six-county service area, including a group of Army officers from Fort Benning’s Western Hemisphere Institute for Security Cooperation. The June 2nd ceremony was held in the 200+ seat McCaulley auditorium at the College on Manchester Expressway as family, friends and loved ones looked on.

The difference of earning a high school diploma or equivalency versus not completing high school is staggering. The Bureau of Labor Statistics reports the average income difference is more than $10,000 per year for high school grads or GED earners as compared to drop-outs. If you your a loved one was unable to complete high school – for any reason- please have them contact our division of Adult Education at 706-641-5620.
