More than 40 students enrolled in the Adult Education program at West Georgia Technical College recently celebrated the end of spring quarter with a pizza party and award ceremony. Troup County Certified Literate Community Program sponsored the event as a sign of appreciation for the work students are doing towards earning their GED.
Debbie Burdette, Executive Director of Troup CLCP commended the students saying, “We appreciate your hard work in the classroom. Earning your GED will not only change your life but the lives of your family and your community.’
“The support our program receives from Debbie and CLCP is invaluable in our efforts to increase the number of GED recipients in Troup County,” said Mary Edmondson, Executive Director of Adult Education at West Georgia Technical College.

Matthew Osborn has recently completed the battery of tests and successfully earned his GED. Osborn, who will start course work in the Health Sciences program at West Georgia Technical College in July, thanked Burdette for her work and also for the GED scholarship which covered the cost of the exams. “I was going through some tough financial times and the GED scholarship made it possible for me to complete the tests and earn my GED. I couldn’t have done it without them,” said Osborn who has dreams of one day becoming a doctor.
