Congratulations to Jackie, one of our former GED graduates! The first picture is Jackie when she graduated with her GED at Jeff State a couple of years ago. The second picture is this past week at her pinning ceremony to become a respiratory therapist. St. Mary’s GED program continues to have a positive impact on her and her family’s lives. We are so proud of what she has accomplished and that she chose to continue her education!

New Cozy Coupe cars ready for a ride!!!

Congratulations to Lakeyia! She passed the last section of her GED test and has now completed the process and earned her GED. She encountered some difficult obstacles along the way, and Covid disrupted her for a while, but she was determined to reach her goal and she persevered. She now plans to start classs at Jeff State and work on an associate degree in nursing. We are so proud of our beautiful Lakeyia and can’t wait to see what she does next!

Children’s Learning Center has reopened for Moms who are studying for the GED! Message us for more information! Or call 205-881-3279!

Children’s Learning Center has reopened!

We would like to introduce one of our new students, Ms. Beatrice! Her employer encouraged her to get her GED so that she would have more opportunity for advancement on her job. Ms. B is 60 years old and has the best attitude! She shows up early every day, stays the whole time, and is a very hard worker. We just have to keep her supplied with coffee, lol! Ms. B dropped out of school at the beginning of ninth grade, so she has a lot of ground to cover and it will take her a while. Keep Ms. B in your prayers, that she is able to do the work and make some progress towards passing her GED tests.

Congratulations to Tawana! She is one of our students and she completed her GED last week. She has three school-aged children and works a night shift at her job. Even with all of that, she has managed to come to class and study online to pass all of her tests. Because she earned her GED at Jeff State, she is eligible to participate in a Career Pathways program at no cost to her. She is going to take classes to become a paralegal. We are very excited for her and what this means for her and her children's future! Way to go, Tawana! We are so proud of you!!

We are happy to announce that we have reopened our childcare class for our GED students who need to bring their younger children to class with them! We have a beautiful classroom with lots of great supplies and activities, as well as sweet and wonderful teachers who are excited about working with our students' children. Must be potty-trained to attend and we accept children up to kindergarten age.

Extreme bragging post about one of our students! Stacy completed our High School Diploma program, which made her eligible to participate in the Fast Track career program at Jeff State to become a Certified Medical Assistant. Once she completed the career program, she did an internship at UAB and passed her certification exam. Her UAB supervisor was so impressed with her that she offered her a job while she was in her internship. This is a picture of Stacy in her scrubs and wearing her UAB ID badge. The GED program at St. Mary's and the career program at Jeff State have truly been life changing for Stacy and her family. We are very proud of her and all she has accomplished!

St. Mary's On The Highlands GED Class updated their address.

We are excited to announce that one of our students passed her GED last week! It has taken Yary a while to pass her math, and she would've passed it last year if we had not shut down for Covid. But Yary was determined and kept on until she finally got it! She is now eligible for a Career Pathways program at Jeff State and has already enrolled in it. Congratulations to Yary! We are very proud of her!!
