X-Cel Celebrates 2008 GED Graduation
On June 27, 2008 X-Cel joined Federated/Log School to celebrate our 2008 GED Graduation. From the 2007-2008 school year, X-Cel had a total of 42 adult students who passed their GED exam. That is a 20% increase over the number of GED graduates from last school year. We’re also excited to report that a high number of these graduates are enrolled in X-Cel’s College Prep program or have already enrolled in college. This will allow these adult students to become qualified for their dream career, earn a living wage and further contribute to today’s society. Approximately 200 graduates, family members and friends, along with X-Cel staff and volunteers came out to join in the celebration. Mr. Robert Lewis from the Boston Foundation shared his inspirational thoughts with the crowd and voiced his admiration for the accomplishments of the graduates. Student graduate Chani Dinkins shared her path to passing the GED, emphasizing her appreciation to X-Cel staff and volunteers who had taught her and reached out to her when she stopped coming to class. Chani plans to attend college this coming year. X-Cel wishes continued success to each of the 42 GED graduates from the 2007-2008 school year!
