Wilcox Staff Writer A community college is much more than a stepping stone to a college or university; it is often an opportunity to pick up where one has left off. This is the idea behind the Adult High School Diploma Program here at Clackamas. The program is designed to help those people 16 years and older earn an actual high school diploma rather than a GED cer tificate. The diploma is treated by universities, employers and the military as if it were a regular high school diploma. There are three options of earning credits for the diploma program. One option is to take high school level courses until the student has accumulated the pre requisite 22 credit hours to gradu ate. The second option is to chose a college course that can also double as high school credit course and earn dual credits as both a Adult High School Diploma stu dent and as a regular college stu dent. Lastly, credits can be earned through life experience. A stu dent must be able to produce docu mentable proof of his/her experi ences in life such as work, parent ing classes, volunteer work, job- related training, military experi ence, self-improvement classes and Red Cross training. 'This is what CCC is about, "Evans said, "a life-long learning experience." “People enroll in this pro gram for many reasons,” accord ing to Adult High School Diploma Advisor Carol Evans. “For some it is personal satisfaction; some never had the chance to finish high school for one reason or another, some didn’t do well in a traditional high school and some are young mothers with babies who want a better life for them selves and their children. " We have 150 students in the program this term and they range in age from 16 to 57 years old," Evans said.

Many families have taken the courses together. “A studen t will see the practi cal applications and say,Hey, Mom, you could do this.’ This term we have a mother and son studying together,” Evans said.
