ALL-TIME HIGH: The annual high school equivalency Assessment Day at Beaufort County Community College drew a record number of attendees on Wednesday, Aug. 20, with over 78 people from BCCC’s service area attending the event. Fifty-five people attended last year. “I am so proud of each individual who made the effort to open the door to a better future,” said Penelope Radcliffe, assessment retention specialist and event coordinator. “I am very appreciative to those businesses and community partners who provided support for this.” The Assessment Day is designed to give those who attend the opportunity to gauge their readiness to test to earn their high school equivalency degree. Assessment day also provides information about Basic Skills classes at BCCC that will help students with remedial work to prepare for the exam. Pictured above, Vice President of Continuing Education Stacey Gerard and Beaufort County Literacy Volunteers Coordinator Jane Weaver prepare to welcome attendees to Assessment Day.
