How to resolve AdBlock issue? LAKE COUNTY, Calif. — The Lake County Library and its Literacy Program has been approved to offer Career Online High School, an educational program offered by Smart Horizons Career Online Education, which gives adults 19 years of age or older the opportunity to earn a high school diploma and credentialed career certificate at the same time.
The library can award scholarships to successful students on an as-needed basis.
The fully online high school program provides a 24/7 online classroom, personal academic coaches, and real-world career training.
“Libraries offer a safe, supportive environment to foster learning and community. Our online education program for adults is a natural extension of library services that empower adults to learn and grow,” said Smart Horizons District Superintendent Dr. Howard Liebman. “COHS students receive support from Lake County Library staff as well as from our academic coaches. Together, they help students achieve their goals.”
In addition to an accredited diploma, COHS students graduate with a certificate in their chosen career path, plus a resume, cover letter, and other tools to start or advance their careers.
The latest available data estimates that about 12% or 4,500,000 of California’s population over 18 years of age has not attained a high school diploma.
Among the 50 states, California has the lowest graduation rate with only about 83% of adults 25 years or older graduating with a high school diploma or high school equivalency.
A fully online program accredited by Cognia/SACS/NCA/NWAC, COHS has partnered with more than 1,800 library locations across the country.
