Newport Beach Library :: Career Online High School


Career Online High School
Literally Speaking:  Sep/Oct 2018

In 2017, Newport Beach Public Library and Newport/Mesa ProLiteracy joined together to help adults in the area achieve their goal to obtain a High School Diploma.

The State of California made the achievement of this goal a priority and is helping libraries to offer a specialized program called Career Online High School “COHS”. Through a matching award program, students who complete a pre-requisite class are able to apply for a scholarship to complete their High School Diploma and receive certification in one of several career choices.

As COHS is a web-based program, it is a wonderful opportunity to give an adult the chance to get their High School Diploma in the convenience of their own home. Our first graduating class will be honored at International Literacy Day on September 13th at 10AM. Four students have completed the full curriculum which includes; Language Arts, Math, Social Studies and Science as well as their career training courses.

Congratulations to our graduates:
Angel Oyune
Melinda Luege
Sheryll Pereira
Lilia Stephens

Please join us on International Literacy Day to congratulate these exceptional women.  READ MORE >>
