             As of April 10. 2008, Clay County can boast 19 students who earned their GED Diploma this program year.  Six others have taken the test, but lack proficiency in one or more areas.  They hope to have their diplomas by the end of the program year in June.  Clay County is graduating 20% of the students enrolled.  This is the 2nd best rate in the Upper Cumberland  area. This percentage reflects the total student population which includes computer students and those using our resources for preparation for vocational school, etc.

             Each month Clay County students journey to Livingston or Cookeville to one of the approved testing sites to take the 2 day exam.  Some nine more students are expected to test before the end of June.  This year is a good year to try for the GED.  With good pre-test scores, the state will pay the testing fee.  The decision has not been made for the 2008 year.

             This year’s graduates include; Anthony Blakely, Joe Boles, Brian Brown, Tony Capps,  Kayla Cross-Scott, Julie Davis, Tiffany King, Abby McLerran,  Mandy Norris, Darrell Pennington, Arlis Price, Jesse Rhome, Brenda Roach, Jessica Sandusky, Justin Scott,  Summer Tidwell, Eugene Trobaugh, and Michael Wallace. One student declined having his name published

             A Graduation is planned for May to recognize this year’s graduates.  A Valedictorian and Salutatorian, for this year’s class will be named.  in addition, the top students in science, social studies, math, language arts, and reading will be recognized.  State department personnel will be on hand for the 2007-2008 celebration.

             Some 95 students have been enrolled in Adult Education in Clay County this year.
