"For an eighth time since 2015, BC3 has been ranked as the No. 1 community college in Pennsylvania, most recently by Niche!

An outstanding team effort."

Roger Walker sat inside the red sedan he drives to his job at a fast-food restaurant after realizing he had achieved a commonwealth secondary school diploma through Butler County Community College’s free adult literacy program, and diverted his attention to the rearview mirror, seeing the empty child safety seat where blond-haired, blue-eyed son Ashton often sits.

It’s where the 4-year-old, wearing his favorite red Spider-man T-shirt, peppers the 21-year-old with questions.

“Dad, why is the sky blue?”

“Dad, why is that car moving?”

“And he loves to count,” Walker, of Butler, said of Ashton. “When we see something, he will say, ‘Dad, there are four’ of these. ‘Dad, there are 13’ of those.”

The single father in a 2021-2022 fiscal year that ended June 30 was among the 25 Butler County students who achieved a commonwealth secondary school diploma through BC3’s adult literacy program.

“I just immediately thought of him,” Walker said of Ashton and the March morning when he passed his final two of four General Educational Development tests, in mathematics and in science. “I thought about the better future I can help to provide for him.”

Achieving a commonwealth secondary school diploma “is not only helping that person,” said Barb Gade, grant director of BC3’s adult literacy program, “but they become greater contributors to the community at large.” Read Roger’s story: news.bc3.edu

BC3’s free adult literacy courses this fall begin this week: Sept. 12 (online) and Sept. 13 (in person). Learn more about the program and find upcoming HSE, ESL classes at bc3.edu/adult-literacy
