High School Completion Program GHPLD is offering community members the opportunity to earn an accredited high school diploma and credentialed career certificate through Career Online High School (COHS), a program brought to public libraries by Gale, a Cengage company. Part of the world’s first accredited, private online school district, COHS is specifically designed to re-engage adults into the education system and prepare them for entry into postsecondary career education or the workforce. Scholarships for COHS will be awarded to qualified learners looking to earn a high school diploma to advance their careers. Once enrolled, COHS pairs each student with an Academic Coach, who assists with developing an individual career plan, offers ongoing guidance and encouragement, evaluates performance, and connects the learner with the resources needed to demonstrate mastery of the course material. Classes are supported by board-certified instructors and students have 24/7 access to the online learning platform. Residents can learn more by visiting greenhillslibrary.org/COHS. Questions about Career Online High School can be directed to COHS@greenhillslibrary.org.
