COMMUNITY EDUCATION CENTER

  The Community Education Center division comprises 12 major program areas with an enrollment of approximately 5,000 students each semester. The division includes noncredit classes or programs that are in the following categories: general studies, technology, business, classes for adults/older adults, Foster Care, Parent Education, Cosmetology, and support services for credit and noncredit students.

  The majority of our students are working adults, from 18 to 65 and older. Our largest enrollment is in ESL, followed by Parent Education, High School Diploma Program, Vocational Programs, Civic courses, and Adult Basic Education courses respectively.

  The Community Education Center provides students with vocational training for entry level positions in a variety of occupations. Concurrent credit/no credit vocational courses are also available. Off-Campus Classes which provide for lifelong learning opportunities through noncredit instruction in the areas of acculturation, socialization, parenting, enrichment, and skill development leading toward personal fulfillment and greater involvement in the community are also offered. These courses consist of parent education (including foster parenting), classes for seniors and convalescents, and functional living for developmentally disabled adults. The classes are held at various sites throughout the district.

MISSION STATEMENT

The Community Education Center provides varied educational opportunities for the community�s multicultural adult population, including a comprehensive High School Diploma Program (HSDP) and a GED Preparation Program. The purpose of the HSDP is to provide a standard of excellence and high quality instruction in order to increase the numbers of successfully prepared transfer students, and to provide a more capable workforce to meet the needs of current trends.

It is the goal of the HS Diploma Program to:

1. Align the HSDP curriculum to meet the State Board of Education�s adopted content standards for English-Language Arts, Mathematics, History/Social Science, and Science.

2. Significantly improve pupil achievement in the CEC-HSDP to ensure that candidates for the diploma can demonstrate grade level competency in reading, writing, and mathematics.
