Opportunity
knocked when Edwin Romero visited his hometown library. As his daughters sat
quietly reading, Romero spotted a brochure about 'Career Online High School.'
"I'm
46 years old," Romero thought to himself. "But it's never too late to
start."
Ten
months later, Romero had earned a scholarship and become the first graduate of
the Career Online High School program through the Beaumont
Library.
Since
graduating in 2017, Romero, a cable company installer, has set his sights on
becoming a cybersecurity expert.
The
Career Online High School program is also offered across the Inland Empire at
branches of the Riverside County Library System and the San Bernardino County Library.
The
innovative program allows adults over 19 years of age with a library card to
earn an accredited high school diploma, a career certificate, and prepare for
college.
Students
learn in an online environment available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
They're paired with an academic coach and a coordinator at the Beaumont
Library.
Students
may enroll year-round, scholarships are available, and while students work at
their own pace, the program must be completed in 18 months. READ MORE >>
