Nunley among adult education students recognized
|
To be individually recognized will be student Julia Marie Nunley, who this year achieved the highest GED score in the history of the local Adult Education program, posting perfect scores on the literature and arts and sciences section of the test. Her overall score places her in the top one percent of GED students in the nation.
Adult Education director Ron Martin said Nunley and the rest the GED Class of 2002 are an outstanding group of students and he is glad they were able to take advantage of the beneficial program. “Warren County Adult Education continues to be recognized as a leader in providing services to a wide range of the adult population,” he said. “We have continued to offer services to students who want to learn more and have a desire to improve themselves.”
“Our teachers are doing an excellent job in meeting the needs of the adult learner,” he continued, “and we are especially proud of Marie Nunley for her academic scholarship.”
Thursday night will also serve to honor students for excellence in scholarship, attendance and achievement, as well as those selected “most improved” by the teachers at the Adult Learning Center.
“This will be a very special evening for out students,” said Carolyn Wilson, director of assessments for adult education. “We are very happy to celebrate the achievement and success of our students who have worked so hard to see their dreams come true.”
In addition to those in the GED program, students in other programs to be recognized include the Families First classes, English for Speakers of Other Languages, WIA class and Opportunities.CAN.
The Friends of Adult Education will also take time Thursday to honor individuals in the community who have put forth “outstanding effort” to assist the program.
These individuals are Thomas Vaughn, Doug Milner, Rev. Bob Case, Janice Crim, Dwayne Woods and Hackett Lance, longtime custodian for the program.
The Warren County Adult Education Graduation and Awards Night will take place at 6:30 p.m. Thursday at McMinnville Civic Center. Martin invites everyone to attend.
