Northeast Alabama Adult Education
Program at NACC Receives "A" on Statewide Success Report Card
Dr. David Campbell, President of Northeast Alabama Community
College, is pleased to announce notification that the Northeast
Alabama Adult Education Program, located at and managed/operated
by Northeast, has received its statewide success report card for
the 2005-2006 fiscal year. This report card reflects an “A” for
the program.
The program was also ranked number one in performance among
traditional adult education programs in the State of Alabama.
This evaluation includes the number of students enrolled, the
number getting their GED, and those entering college, gaining
employment, retaining employment, and the number of hours
students attend classes.
The program not only has the largest enrollment, but it also has
the largest ESL (English as a Second Language) Program in the
state. For the majority of the past twenty-five years, the
program has also had the largest GED graduation.
According to Program Director Randall White, this program’s
numbers have been increasing every year, whereas the numbers for
the state as a whole have been declining. He attributes much of
the success of the program to the support of Dr. Campbell. White
also gives credit to all of his program teachers and aides for
this great accomplishment. “We all work together very
effectively to see that the accountability measures for each
student are achieved and recorded,” said White. “Together we
will continue to work hard to meet and serve the learner needs
in our area.”
"It is Mr. White and his staff who have gone out and established
this outstanding adult education program,” said Campbell. “It is
an exceptional accomplishment for the program to be the top
ranked traditional adult education program in Alabama. That
accomplishment is just testimony to the work Mr. White and his
staff does for our community. As the Alabama economy grows and
changes, adult education is taking on even a more and more
important role. Now GED graduates come out of the program with
some excellent job skills that can be adapted to this new
Alabama economy. We are very proud to support the work Mr. White
and his staff are doing in helping Alabama move forward and
improving the lives of so many people through education."
