Congratulations to the first group of students in the Excel Adult High School program who graduated in July! Members of the 29-person cohort enrolled through one of three partner organizations – the Kansas City Public Library, Mid-Continent Public Library, or Literacy KC – and had two years to complete the modules at their own pace. “Our patrons have many reasons they may not have graduated from high school, and now they have a chance to walk across the stage in front of family and friends to celebrate this important milestone,” says Wendy Pearson, the Kansas City Public Library’s strategic initiatives manager. The Excel Adult High School program is available at no cost to cardholders living in the Library’s service area through funds raised by the Library’s philanthropy department.
