In today’s competitive workforce, having a high school diploma can drastically improve your income and quality of life. In fact, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics has found that high school graduates earn 25 percent more than those who haven’t graduated. Unfortunately, life sometimes gets in the way.
Currently, in St. Louis County, Missouri alone, more than 57,000 people over the age of 25 have no high school diploma. At St. Louis County Library (SLCL), we are committed to helping this subsection of the population continue their education and find fulfilling, well-paying careers. Through Gale Presents: Excel Adult High School, we provide adults with an easily accessible way to earn a high school diploma at no cost.
