Online High School Opens Doors for Students Without a High School Diploma or GED
Students who did not finish high school or get a GED can now receive a real high school diploma in as little as two days from Centennial High School. This diploma is accepted by many companies who require their employees to have a diploma or GED, so graduates can often qualify for better jobs than they could previously get.
(PRWEB) July 10, 2005 -- Centennial High School offers a fast, affordable high school diploma program that can be completed online and
that is accepted by many companies who require their employees to have a high
school diploma or GED.
According to the 1999 Current Population Survey of
the United States Census, a staggering 55% of individuals at least 25 years old
who failed to complete high school or receive a GED reported no earnings for the
year. This compares to 25% of those 25 years or older with at least a high
school diploma or GED who failed to report earnings for the
year.
Furthermore, for those who reported earnings in 1999, the median
income for individuals who did not complete their high school diploma or GED was
$15,334, compared to a median income of $29,294 for those with at least a high
school diploma or GED.
One of the main reasons for this large discrepancy
is that it is becoming standard practice for companies to require all of their
employees to have at least a high school diploma or GED. Individuals who did not
finish high school or receive a GED are thus not eligible for a large number of
jobs in today's job market.
Centennial High School's high school diploma
online program was designed specifically for this problem. It is fast and
affordable, and the Centennial High School diploma is recognized by many
companies. Graduates of the program are able to quickly earn their diploma and
begin applying for jobs or positions that were previously beyond their
reach.
Students in the program take a 4-part high school equivalency test
and complete an enrollment application. Once they have passed the test and
completed their enrollment application, they can order a high school diploma
graduation package from Centennial High School.
The high school diploma
graduation package includes a high school diploma from Centennial High School,
plus transcripts based on the high school equivalency test taken earlier. It
also includes free ongoing employer verification, which means employers can call
the Centennial High School registrar and verify that a student has graduated
from the program.
The entire high school diploma program can be completed
from any computer with Internet access, and each student can complete the
program at their own pace. Motivated students can typically complete the entire
program and receive their high school diploma within 5 days or less.
A
high school diploma from Centennial High School currently costs $219.00 plus
shipping. However, students can sign up for the program, take the equivalency
test and complete their enrollment application for free. Students do not pay
anything until they have completed the program and are ready to order a high
school diploma graduation package.
The high school diploma program from
Centennial High School makes an excellent alternative to a general education
diploma, or GED. If someone is considering getting a GED to be eligible for a
job, then getting a high school diploma from Centennial High School has a number
of advantages. It can be completed faster, it doesn't require any classroom time
and it is affordable, plus it is accepted by many companies.
