Finish high school - Adults - do you need a few credits in order to complete the requirements for your high school diploma. With today's Internet delivery, the options open for you are nearly endless. Are you someone who quit high school because some of life's problems got in the way. Or was high school just not for you? Are you ready now to reach that all-important goal. The reasons you quit are numerous. The reasons to finish are good ones:
1) Get a better job
2) Show your children that it is an important goal
3) Fulfill a promise to someone - even if it is to yourself
4) Prepare to go on to college
 
There are many Kansas online high school programs that are free or have a low-cost (est. $20.00) enrollment fee. Many programs allow you to work from home. Some offer a computer for you to work on your courses. Examples include INSIGHT SCHOOL OF KANSAS. Free & they provide a laptop: http://www.insightks.net/
E-mail ECCRC today to set up your Educational planning meeting where you can learn about Kansas Diploma Completion Programs that are available for you. A professional Case Manager will be assigned to you free of charge. This professional will work with you to help you set and reach your educational goals.  
 
OTHER OPTIONS: You can finish high school through one of Cowley County's programs .
