Who is eligible?

of Florida High School Diploma; (2) current SPC students who, for some reason,
have not yet completed high school in the regular setting and have realized the
value of a diploma; and (3) current students who need to complete the high
school requirement before the end of the term.
What does the
program include?
The program includes, but is not limited to, GED test
preparation through pre-tests, individualized instruction and independent study.
Students can work closely with the SPC counselors and Career Lab to explore
career directions, when necessary.
When do the classes meet?
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday from 1-3 p.m.
An evening class is available on Monday and Wednesday nights from 4 to 7 p.m.

In-School GED
Who is eligible?
(1) Self-motivated students who have goals that can be met by getting the State
of Florida High School Diploma; (2) current high school students who, for some
reason, cannot complete high school in the regular setting and have realized the
value of a diploma; and (3) potential drop-outs who have average and above
stanines in all areas.
What does the
program include?
The In-School GED program includes, but is not limited to
(1) preparation for the GED, through pre-tests, individualized instruction and
study; (2) completion of a packet of employability skills, including resumes and
interview strategies; (3) investigation of a career, using the SPC Career Lab;
(4) exploration of post-GED alternatives, including application and other
preparations for PTEC, SPC or the military; and (5) instruction in specific
strategies for the adult learner, including the exploration of ways to use time
and resources wisely.
What are the hours?
Students are required to spend five hours per day, Monday through Friday, in the class. Students
can arrive as early as 7 a.m., but no later than 7:30 a.m.
What is different about this program?
Students in the
In-School GED program not only receive GED preparation, they also are taught
employability skills and are given career guidance. Students who are in
their 4th year as a high school student are also eligible to participate in
senior activities, such as graduation, at their school.
Are there many of these programs around?
The In-School
GED program is only available at six locations in the Pinellas County School
District. This program is the only one not located on a high school campus.
