Many adults choose to pursue a high school education through the High School Equivalency (GED/HSE) program. The HSE program is designed to develop the skills required to pass the High School Equivalency exams. HSE classes are free and are offered in South Holland, Riverdale, and Oak Forest. SSC’s Adult Education Department is also offering free ESL classes in South Holland and Oak Forest. ESL helps non-native students to improve their English skills from beginning to advanced levels.

At the time of registration all students will take a placement test and will need the following items:

  • Current State ID or driver’s license indicating Illinois residence (Indiana residents cannot participate in this program.)
  • For students under age 18—withdrawal form from the high school of current residence
  • Proof of Social Security Number (GED/HSE only)

Information provided will be kept confidential in accordance with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (Public Law 93-380).

Priority registration is given to continuing students who are making progress in their studies. Waiting lists will be taken as classes have a maximum number of students who can be served.
