Regional GED Graduation in New Orleans

Hello Everyone,

The Second Annual Regional GED Graduation presented by the Literacy Alliance of Greater New Orleans occurred Saturday, May 16th on the campus of Loyola University. Over one hundred students obtained their GED from local literacy providers this year and had the opportunity to walk across the stage in caps and gowns and celebrate their accomplishment with family and friends. Ten adult basic education and literacy organizations worked together to plan this event with graduates coming from Orleans, Jefferson and St. Bernard parishes. Check out the link below featuring the story about the GED graduation.
