Wayne Township Adult Education is offering a citizenship class, open to all ELL and HSE students, on Fridays from 9:00AM to noon at BDU. The twelve-week course covers mainly U.S. geography, history, and government. It is designed not only to prepare students for upcoming citizenship interviews, but to provide a background in social studies that will be helpful for HSE and to assist our students to become aware of the roots of America, as well as the rights and responsibilities associated with life in their new country.

If anyone knows about persistence, it’s Wayne Township Adult Education student Michael Andrews. After staying in classes and working hard for 3 ½ years, Michael Andrews passed the TASC test and earned his HSE just this past month. If you ask Michael about classes and his teachers, he immediately lights up and lets you know that his teachers are like his extended family, and that if it weren’t for their encouragement and pushing him to give his best, he might not have made it to where he is today.
