ALTA Program Celebrates 2026 GED Graduates at Recognition Ceremony

The Adult Literacy, Training and Assistance (ALTA) Program at Luzerne County Community College celebrated the accomplishments of its 2026 graduates during a GED Recognition Ceremony held Thursday, July 16,* at the Educational Conference Center (ECC) on the College's Nanticoke campus.

Twenty-three of the program's 32 graduates participated in the ceremony, which honored adult learners who successfully earned their Pennsylvania High School Equivalency Diploma through the ALTA Program.

The ceremony recognized the graduates' hard work, persistence, and determination in reaching this significant educational milestone. Many of the graduates balanced full-time employment, family responsibilities, language barriers, financial hardships, and other personal challenges while working toward earning their GED.

Obtaining a Pennsylvania High School Equivalency Diploma represents far more than completing an educational program. For many graduates, it serves as a pathway to higher education, career advancement, workforce training, and personal growth.

"Luzerne County Community College is proud to celebrate the accomplishments of our ALTA graduates," said Kim Gavlick, M.Ed., Assistant Professor, ALTA Program Director and Perkins Project Director. "Earning a GED is much more than receiving a diploma. For our students, it represents perseverance, resilience, and the belief that it is never too late to achieve an educational goal. We are incredibly proud of this year's graduates and the dedication they demonstrated in overcoming challenges to reach this milestone. Their success opens doors to higher education, career opportunities, and a brighter future for themselves and their families."

The ALTA Program provides adult education services that help individuals improve literacy skills, prepare for the GED examination, develop English language proficiency, and transition to college or career opportunities. Through individualized instruction and dedicated support, the program empowers adult learners to achieve their educational and professional goals.

Family members, friends, faculty, and staff attended the recognition ceremony to celebrate the graduates' achievements and encourage them as they begin the next chapter of their educational and career journeys.
