Delayed not Denied: Region 5 ESC Graduation |
Our community partner, Region 5 Education Service Center, held its graduation ceremony on July 9, 2024, at Lamar State College Port Arthur. Graduates shared how this accomplishment
had changed their lives. Shane Stutler, the eldest graduate of 2024, shared his story, emphasizing that while he faced delays, he was never denied the chance to finish his education.
He was thrilled to complete what he started and excited about the new opportunities ahead.
The Adult Education and Literacy program is a vital part of our community offering a second chance to Southeast Texans. It gives individuals the opportunity to earn their High School Equivalency,
which can help them support their families, thrive in our community, and build a stronger future workforce. This program is essential for opening new doors for people who might have faced obstacles
in their educational journey.
Region 5 Education Service Center states these classes are open to all Texas residents who are not currently enrolled in a public school. This inclusivity helps create a more educated and capable
community, ready to meet the demands of the modern workforce and pursue further educational and career opportunities. The success stories from this year's graduation are a testament to the
profound impact the Adult Education and Literacy program has on individual lives and Southeast Texas.
