Superintendent’s Message
I AM A TRUE BELIEVER THAT A
person should never stop learning.
Just because you have earned
that diploma or degree does not
mean you have learned everything
you can. Not only does continuing
education keep your mind sharp,
it can also set a good example for
your children or grandchildren.
When they see you making the
effort to learn, your advice about
the importance of education will
hold more weight. I encourage you to take a look at what our
Adult and Community Education program has to offer. There
are so many exciting courses to choose from, including two new
ones: German and Intermediate Rhythm Ballroom Dancing. Have
fun and learn something new today!

Prepare for the GED® Test
Studying makes the difference GED® test is your opportunity to prove that you’ve got
the knowledge of a high school graduate. Once you earn your GED® Diploma from the Florida
Department of Education, doors to a brighter future will open. Only you can make this happen. To
make this happen, you’ve got to take the test!
What are the benefits? Earning the GED® opens doors not previously available to you.
With a GED® you can go to college, begin a career training program, or be eligible for a career that
requires a high school diploma. Collier County Public Schools GED® offers a career pathway program
that will guide you toward the future you’ve dreamed of.
How do I prepare? Collier County Public Schools offers GED® Prep classes at a number of
sites throughout the county. Areas of concentration include: Language Arts, Math, Science, and
Social Studies, which are all addressed on the GED® test. Students are individually assessed before
beginning the program. This assessment is not a pass/fail test. It allows us to identify what a student
needs to learn to be successful on the GED®. It helps us to know when they are GED® Ready.
Do I need to prepare? Students who prepare with Collier County Public Schools and other
Florida school systems have a much higher rate of passing than those who do not. With the guidance
of Adult Education teachers and the use of their assessment tools, when told they are GED® Ready,
students of our prep program have a passing rate of more than 80%. In April 2014, over 600 individuals
joined the GED® graduate alumni class of Collier County. You can get your GED® too!
